Fuel Pump Module Recall
- Thread starter sholxgt
- Start date
Took the 13' in for the fuel pump recall and they did replace it. Though while it was in there I told them about a noise from the front end which sounded like a wheel bearing. They ended up ordering both front axles and will replace when the parts arrive. Luckily still under warranty.

Looking at your new module, I thought the correct module had to have a 5 or 5F suffix on the mfg number???
Is that not true on the replacements?

I am so glad I got my recall done, and a TSB computer upgrade tune. This made a BIG difference like a new different car. Much smoother, at idle can not tell the motor is running, so much quieter and smoother. Under acceleration way smoother, not a hint of low throttle stutter like before. Seems much more powerful especially at the top of the gears and I get 3 mph more before each max shift. Seat of pants I picked up hp, smoother then any car I ever had, purrs almost no noise or vibration in car. Very happy. Big improvement!

My Flex is getting this done today. I believe the dealers are now getting a good supply of modules so I would give your dealer a call.
I got paranoid when I got the notice and the dealer wasn't making appointments yet so I bought one from an online dealer for around $50 just to have on hand (just in case). I changed it myself, took less than 3 minutes. When I finally got the recall appointment notice, I called the Ford customer number on it and they said if I go have it verified at the dealer, they would reimburse me. We'll see how that goes.

I called my dealer and they ordered one. Should be available next week to take my car in for it.
The service adviser also has a SHO and told me the pump got rid of his morning surge. I have the exact same problem. I'm excited to have it fixed!!

That's interesting,but would also mention SSM 44315 2013 Model Year Explorer, Taurus, MKS, Flex, MKT, Fusion, MKZ, and Police Interceptor Utility and Sedan Vehicles may exhibit a fuel odor or hesitation.Vortech347 said:
Some 2013 Model Year Explorer, Taurus, MKS, Flex, MKT, Fusion, MKZ, and Police Interceptor Utility and Sedan Vehicles may exhibit a fuel odor, slow fill, or hesitation/stumble while driving and may or may not have one or more of the following codes present P0454, P0455, p0456, p0457, p0451, p0459 after Field Service Action 13S04 has been completed. This may be due to the fuel vapor line not being properly connected (fully seated) to the underside of the Fuel Delivery Module (FDM) which may lead to the carbon canister becoming saturated with liquid fuel.If fuel is found in the carbon canister and FSA13s04 has been completed on the vehicle, please inspect the vapor line connection to the FDM in addition to the normal diagnostics called out in the appropriate workshop manual.

I had the recall done in Dec/ 16, and the computer upgraded to new tune for hesitation. They changed my valadation code and therefore needed my tuner to redo my 3 tunes. 87 3bar, 91 3bar, 93 3bar.
My tuner Said it would be 150 bucks to redo my tunes, so be aware of that. I ended up only getting the 93 3 bar replaced, i am on a budget/disabled.
However with the recalled module replaced, Ford new base tune and my new 93 3bar the car is much quicker, more thrust, more responsive and more smooth, it is even significantly quieter. I then changed oil to Pennz oil Platinum and all the clicks in motor are now gone and smoother yet. At idle you cannot tell it is running and is so responsive and quick now. I am really happy but wish I had all my tunes.

Ford charged 80 for the TSP hesitation retune of pcm. Said they would use towards the 100 deductible for warranty work, for replacing the PTU for a bad whining issue. My tuner said he would now charge 150 to re do the three custom tunes I purchased from him 6 months before because of new strategy code. I only have the 93 3bar now on top of the ford's TSP redo of the PCM
If this guy is charging you every time there is a change, you already have a SCT device, next time I would ping AJPTurbo..... his tunes are fantastic and doesn't charge for revisions. His tune cost as much as your revisions... same with Unleashed and BCB I believe.

Math on that works out to $6,000/hr if it's steady work... looks like I need to order the PRP and start learning!!! ROI on that is insane!
