Description of the problem	Lost power in insanely busy irving/dallas intersection near major highway - could have been a huge accident! 5400 plus miles. Ford 2016 mustang, v6 from a standing position, second car in line at red light. Light changes, traffic starts to move, i stepped on gas and nothing! Had to creep across two lanes of busy traffic and limp up onto a sidewalk as that there was no breakdown shoulder. Than god the curb was about 2 to 3 inches high. Wrench icon on dash: "see manual". Turned engine off and back on - rpms surged to the red and then dropped to below 1000. Tried the off/on thing about 3 times - same results. Engine was chugging, missing, even exhaust was chugging like some old jalopy! Checked the electronic gauge readings - everything was normal except the vacuum pressure - it was between 5 and 0! After several calls to dealership, ford roadside assist and tow company; turned car off again - 30 seconds to a minute later, restarted it - and it was running perfect - engine light however was on. Vacuum level was running between 17 and 20. Towed to dealership; it's a week now and i have just learned from them that it's the throttle body. Was told that "ford had a bad batch of these" on this engine size (v6). The part is on back order. The dealership service rep stated it's taken as long as a "couple of months" but ford is getting faster at getting the part out, so it could be a week to two weeks to get it in. I have seen reports of this same issue on carcomplaints. Com for explorers - from jun 5th 2016 - stating that ford had 7000 throttle bodies on back order! This is an exceptionally dangerous situation with these things losing power like this on highways and in major traffic. Ford needs to issue a recall on this throttle body!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
