The short answer

NHTSA received Ford Motor Company’s report on Jul 7, 2025. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

An oil leak can result in loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, an oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 1.5L EcoBoost RFF Cylinder Heads, with part number PV4Z-6049-A and 1.5L RFF Long Block Engines, with part number PV4Z-6006-A, sold as replacement parts.

The cylinder head may have been improperly manufactured, which can cause the ball plugs to fail, resulting in an oil leak.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
