Engine light came on while driving (1/14/2022), drove to a local auto parts store to check the code. Came back with code P1450: Unable to Bleed Up Fuel Tank Vacuum. This is the first instance of this issue in this particular vehicle to my knowledge. While I am fortunate to have avoided safety issues so far, Ford has issued a recall for similar models because "the excessive vacuum may result in an engine stall while driving, without warning and without the ability to restart the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash" (Ford recall #18S32, NHTSA Campaign #18V735000). My vehicle is not included in the current recall, but should be due to the similar issue and therefore a similar safety concern.
