On certain vehicles, the engine oil pump tensioner and/or the engine oil pump drive belt could fail and cause a loss of engine oil pressure. If this happens, the engine could fail and cause a loss of power to the wheels and a loss of power braking assist.
Safety Risk
A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A loss of power brakes can cause a sudden increase in brake pedal force and lead to an increase in stopping distance.
Corrective Actions
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the oil pump drive belt tensioner assembly. The dealer will also replace the oil pump drive belt.
