A fuel pump defect could stifle fuel delivery to the engine in affected vehicles, potentially causing an engine stall while driving.
Ford said an estimated 10% of the 850,318 vehicles included in the recall have the defect.
The automaker received at least six consumer complaints related to the defect, and is unaware of any accidents or injuries related to the fuel pump failure.
Letters notifying vehicle owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed July 14.
Second letters will be sent once the remedy.
Drivers may notice a check engine light, weaker engine power or poor engine performance, including misfiring or running rough, ahead of the fuel pump failure.
The defect is more likely to occur in warm weather conditions with hot fuel in the tank, or when fuel levels are low, the automaker said.
