Ford F-250 SD Recall 26V158: Fuel pump can fail and cut engine power on diesel trucks

NHTSA campaign 26V158, reported March 17, 2026, 9,839 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some 2020 and 2021 Ford F-Super Duty diesel trucks (F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550) that were previously repaired under an earlier recall may have biodiesel deposits forming on roller components inside the high pressure fuel pump's drivetrain. Over time, this can cause the pump to fail.

If the high pressure fuel pump fails, the vehicle can lose drive power, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should take this seriously and not ignore the recall.

Ford will update the powertrain control module (PCM) software at an authorized dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 7, 2026. You can also contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (Ford recall 26S17), and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) on NHTSA.gov for open recalls.
