Winnipeg Free Press, Tuesday, June 14, 2005, B5:
DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 260,000 vehicles because they have engines that can stall without warning or fuel lines that can separate, officials said yesterday.
The models affected include the 2004 and 2005 models of F-Series Super Duty pickups, the Ford Excursion SUV and E350 and E450 vans.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said certain vehicles can stall without warning possibly leading to crashes. The recall stems from a problem with fuel injection control modules.
Ford is also recalling more than 78,000 F-series trucks because the fuel lines can separate from the connection to the main fuel bundle, possibly resulting in a loss of power and stalled engines. Fuel leakage could result in a fire, NHTSA said.
The second recall affects F-series trucks with gasoline engines. A Ford spokeswoman said the recalls will affect about 20,000 Canadian vehicles.

Note: The first recall is for the new 6.0 V8 turbodiesel.
