Numerous Ford truck recalls; small Pacifica fuel line leak recall

Stellantis saw a single recall in this past week, for 2023 Pacificas with deformed fuel lines. Only 967 minivans are affected, all of them PHEVs. The cause was improperly extruded fuel lines, and it only affects Pacificas made from February 22, 2023 to March 8, 2023. The part was supplied by Cooper Standard Automotive. There have been two warranty claims for this problem, and no accidents.

Meanwhile, at Ford, the 2014-16 Transit Connect vans may have a crack in their front door latch Paul; a dark instrument panel on 2023 Ford F-250 through F-550 trucks and 2023 Escapes; the front windows may go one way but not the other on 2023 F-250 through F-550 trucks; and the electric parking brake may activate unexpectedly activate on 2021-23 F-150s. No other ordinary cars or trucks were recalled last week; Stellpower does not usually report on RVs or heavy trucks.
