What's wrong, in plain English

These Ford Expedition, F-150, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles with the 3.5L V6 engine have a high pressure fuel pump assembly. The welds on this pump can crack, or fracture. When the welds fracture, the pump can develop a leak of either oil or fuel from inside the fuel system.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the fuel pump replaced (Ford customer service: 1-866-436-7332).
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
