Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) is one of the best manufacturing stocks to buy according to hedge funds. On July 10, Ford Motor announced a recall of 850,318 vehicles in the US due to a potential low-pressure fuel pump failure. This defect could lead to an engine stall and increase the risk of a crash, and was highlighted by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration/NHTSA.

The NHTSA estimates that ~10% of the recalled vehicles have this specific defect. Before a fuel pump failure occurs, drivers might observe symptoms such as poor engine performance, such as misfiring, rough running, reduced power, or the illumination of the check engine light.
