The Canister Purge Valve (CPV) may malfunction, possibly causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management system.
This could result in an engine stall during driving, without warning and without the ability to restart the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module and check for fault codes and replace the CPV as needed.
If the CPV is replaced, dealers will inspect and replace the carbon canister, fuel tank and fuel delivery module as necessary.
