That appears to be an issue with improper installation, causing a potential fuel leak, not a sensor problem.

Yeah, I can read. It's still a recall on the sensor.....for whatever reason they may wanna give.

There seems to be a lot of "inconsequential" evidence that points to a problem with the 'old' lfps and no problems with the 'new'. Like a sh!t ton. Occam's razor is a beautiful thing. I kinda live my life by it.

This is the last I'm saying on it. Don't know why I did so much digging to begin with. Mine is replaced. I am happy. Have a great morning everyone! ?

At the risk of sounding troll-ish, you would be incorrect in that statement. In the subject TSB, it states that they would replace the fuel supply tube, so from that I would say it sounds like the problem was truly with the installation, either cross threading or something which damaged the threads in the line, and not the sensor, since they were not replacing the sensor as part of the TSB.

I agree, we have perhaps spent too much time on this and I'm sure that those who have replaced the sensor have their reasons and those who have not have theirs.

And that's all I have to say about that.

but Id rather not blow my motor at the risk of 30 bucks.

Actually...it says "fuel suppy tube ASSEMBLY"....as in a group of parts, not just the tube.

Looks like there was, Dave.

That recall was for the sensor not being installed correctly resulting in a potential fuel leak and fire hazard. The fix is to replace the hose, nothing to do with the actual sensor.

It's NOT a tooling hole.

And how do you know that? Did you cut one open? As i have been saying right along until some one disects one you just don't know what it is.

hey ya'll I just want to thank all of our family for all this great info to keep our cars running great this is a great group .. all the info is invaluable to all of us that don't have the connections or data....thanks to all !!!!!! vince

I've never cut open a CPU before, but I know their architecture like the back of my hand.

The fix is to replace the assembly, but you're right Dave. You win. That TSB has NOTHING to do with the pressure sensor. In fact, the Fuel pressure sensor doesn't need to be changed like you say.

I get the BA may be the same as the CA, but what I haven't seen is anyone complaining that the CA has failed.

I get the BA failure may be artificially high in this group as compared to the total number of sensors in the real world, but the CA has been in cars for (at least in this group) about 3 years. If they were the "same" shouldn't we see some CA failures? 2015 car put in a CA in 2016 when BA fails and now 3 years later CA is still going strong. Seems very coincidental.

Great info here. Hey yes.. FYI... the old model was on my 2019 PP Eco.

Hello, thanks for posting a photo of the sensor. I bought a 2020 last month and just checked, my sensor looks exactly like the one in your photo and has the same part number. I’m not technical and I’m a little confused by all the detailed information – do you know if the sensor in your photo is the one known to be OK? I certainly don’t want to replace it if I have the modified part that supposedly corrects prior issues. Much appreciated!

 

[2020ecobase]

Plenty of folks even in this thread have reported there 2018s have the -BA part. It would be interesting if folks with 2019s would pull off the connector on their cars and see how the parts is marked and report back.

Old thread, but I just checked my 2020 101A 10A and I have BU5A-9F972-BA (LB15C-MX2).

I hope you guys that are replacing the sensor for good measure realize that a new unproven part is statistically more likely to fail than a part that has been performing correctly for a period of time.

That is the nature of all manufactured items. An items failure rate is highest when new and as it is used the failure drops to a low constant failure rate until some time in the future the part starts to wear out and the failure go back up.

In the case of the fuel pressure sensor Ford has been using the same part with the same part number in all gasoline engines since 2010 and still are. The after market part everyone is swapping in has some inconsequential minor visual differences but there is no evidence that it is any more reliable than the factory part (and it could have a higher failure rate).

Dave

I am having trouble with my 2020 I know something isn’t right. Engine sounds very rough and it sputters as well as not able to fully accelerate then you can fill it kick in has a little jerk. I have taken to dealership multiple times and they say no codes were coming up and it is fine. I am at a loss I don’t know what else to do. Do you happen to have any suggestions?

Again this doesn't prove either point, but take it subjectively. I emailed my tuner, Ryan at PD tuning just to get his opinion on the matter and his experience with the new sensor.

From Ryan:
I haven’t seen a CA sensor fail yet. Doesn’t mean they won’t I’ve seen plenty of BA sensor’s fail. Doesn’t mean the CA sensor’s won’t fail I just haven’t run into it yet.



Respectfully,

Ryan Martin

Again this isn't proof of anything, but from someone who daily works on and pushes the platform.

Mine just failed, car was hard to start 2 days in a row day 3 wouldnt start at all, i had the old sensor in garage so i put that in car starts but idles at 5000 and rough and hesitates to take off. So i ordered an new sensor but wont see it till 31st due to dang Holiday so im carless for a week.
