Description of the problem	Traveling down the highway at 55mph with cruise set and hit brake to turn corner. Engine immediately died with subsequent loss of power brakes and steering--scary because it happened at a critical time while turning a corner on a highway. Absolutely no warning--engine seemed fine prior. Truck would not start. Towed the dead truck to nearest ford dealer in wellington, ks. High pressure fuel pump failure was the diagnosis. Evidently when this happens, metal filings from the shredded pump take out all the injectors, fuel rail, pressure regulator, and also sends metal filings into the fuel tank via the return line. Ford corporate, not the dealer mind you, claims this failure is a result of fuel contamination in spite of the fact that there are 2 fuel filters and a water separator in the system and they were well maintained. Repairs are estimated at $8000 + and ford has refused warranty saying it is not their fault. The "fuel contamination" claim by ford may not even be accurate as their "diagnosis" was made from a picture of the failed part. No fuel tests by ford were conducted although i did retain a sample of the fuel. No specifics were given by ford as to what type of contamination either--they just state "contamination". I have no idea if they are talking fluid or solids. Just whose fault is it when the fuel filtering system designed by ford fails to filter out contaminants? They are denying warranties to thousands of consumers like me, plus they put me in danger with a known issue they fail to take responsibility for--and my government is letting them get by with it. To my knowledge they are continuing to build these 6. 7l diesel engines (it is now august of 2015 as i write this) with the same high pressure fuel pump failures staring the next consumer in the face and pocketbook. Shame on ford--and shame on the rest of us for letting them get by with it... Updated 11/05/15 bf cn

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
