Thousands of Ford Ranger utes and Everest SUVs have been recalled due to a potential engine problem. The recall impacts models with Ford’s 3.0-litre ‘Lion’ V6 engine.

“Due to a manufacturing defect, the left-hand engine camshaft sprocket may fracture. As a result, the engine could stall leading to a sudden loss of motive power whilst driving,” the company said in its recall notice.

‘A sudden loss of motive power whilst driving increases the risk of an accident, which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.’

A total of 13,490 vehicles built between 2022 and 2025 are affected.

A number of owners belonging to a popular Ford Ranger Facebook page said their vehicles had recently faced a range of engine-related issues.

One user shared an image of his Ranger on the back of a tow-truck. He claimed it was later replaced due to an issue with the V6 turbo diesel engine.

“No warning lights, no fluids lost, no loss of power,” he wrote alongside the image.

“Ford won’t tell me what happened, just that they are going to replace the motor.”

A woman responded that her own Ranger had been replaced following an engine failure with only 600km on the odometer.

“I got 68km on mine and they put a new motor in it,” one user said.

Another user wrote their vehicle met the recall specifications, adding: “Called Ford and they advised the recall is just an inspection at present.

“Doesn’t fill me with confidence given I’m heading off on a big trip in a month.”

Last year, the company issued a recall for nearly 40,000 Everest and Transit Custom vans built between 2022 and 2024 due to an electric windows issue.

“Due to a software issue, if a vehicle occupant places an obstruction such as a body part in the window space when the driver or passenger side windows are closing, the auto reverse function may not operate until significant pressure is applied,’ the October recall statement read.

‘If the driver or passenger side window auto reverse function does not operate as intended, it can increase the risk of serious injury to vehicle occupants.”

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

A Ford spokesperson said customers can continue to drive as normal in the meantime.

‘Ford has issued a recall for the affected vehicles, as the left-hand camshaft sprocket on the engine may fracture due to a manufacturing defect,’ they said.

‘This camshaft sprocket failure may result in an immediate loss of motive power (engine stall) with no prior warning to the driver.

‘Ford will be contacting affected customers about this recall. There is nothing they need to do at this stage – they can continue to drive their vehicles as normal.

Dealers have been instructed to visually inspect the left-hand camshaft sprocket to identify the build date and replace the sprockets and associated parts if required.

“This service will be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.”
