NHTSA recall 23V597000
Engine And Engine Cooling · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 2.3L gtdi engines. The turbocharger oil supply line may be damaged, which can result in an oil leak inside the engine compartment.
Why it matters: An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire. In addition, the loss of oil can result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Owners are advised to park and shut off the engine as soon as possible if they see an oil pressure warning light or smoke coming from the engine compartment. Dealers will replace the turbo oil supply line assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 8, 2023.
