If you continue to drive the vehicle with this symptom, the engine could fail and/or a fire could occur. An engine failure can cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. An engine failure could also create the risk of a fire. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnFord will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the crankshaft.
