Why does my Ford truck say low fuel pressure?

Just had the message “low fuel pressure” pop up on my truck this morning. Unfortunately the truck is about 400 miles from home with an employee in it so it is causing a problem. I am hoping a new fuel filter will be the cure howevern the fuel filter was just replaced about 8k miles ago.
