Australia’s top-selling ute, the Ford Ranger and the Everest four-wheel-drive, are being recalled by the motor giant to fix a potential engine fault.
Ford says it will contact owners of nearly 13500 affected vehicles, fitted with the Everest 3.0L Lion Engine.
Due to a manufacturing defect, the left-hand engine camshaft sprocket may fracture.
This can result in the engine stalling, leading to a sudden loss of motive power while driving, increasing the risk of an accident, and serious injury or death.
A total of 13,490 vehicles built between 2022 and 2025 are impacted.
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted in writing, requesting they schedule an appointment with an authorised Ford dealer to have the issue rectified, free of charge.
For further information, contact the Ford Customer Relationship Centre on 133 673.
