What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fuel leak that can increase the risk of a fire, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural vehicle defects involving fire hazards.

Plain-English summary

Robert Bosch LLC is recalling certain HDP5 High Pressure Fuel Pump Assemblies, part numbers 0261520518 and 0261520515, installed in vehicles manufactured by Ford Motor Company and General Motors. This recall is based on decisions by Ford and GM to inspect and replace these specific pump assemblies.

The defect involves welds between the pump housing and the mounting flange that may fracture. This fracture can cause a fuel leak. If a fuel leak occurs in the presence of an ignition source, it can increase the risk of a fire.

Ford and GM will notify owners of the affected vehicles. Dealers will replace the high pressure fuel pump assembly free of charge. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov for more information.
