Ford just can't seem to shake these recalls.


RECALL Subject : Fuel Leak from Cracking In The Fuel Pulse Damper Report Receipt Date: JAN 06, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V002000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 27,933 Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company



SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Edge vehicles manufactured from September 2, 2010, through April 25,



2013, and equipped with 2.0L engines. The fuel line pulse damper metal housing may crack as a result of an improper manufacturing process. A cracked fuel line pulse damper housing may result in a combination of fuel odor, weepage, or a continuous leak while the fuel system is pressurized.

CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.



REMEDY: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel line with one that does not have a damper, free of charge. The safety recall is scheduled to begin on February 28, 2014. Owners may contact Ford at



1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 13S13. IMPORTANT: This recall supersedes recall 12V-438. All vehicles that have been remedied under the previous recall need to have the current remedy applied.
