URGENT UPDATE: Ford has just announced a major recall affecting nearly 700,000 vehicles due to a serious fire risk linked to cracked fuel injectors. This recall impacts Ford Bronco Sport models from 2021 to 2024 and Ford Escape vehicles produced between 2020 and 2022.
The automaker warns that a cracked fuel injector could leak gasoline into the engine compartment, creating a dangerous situation where contact with a hot surface may ignite a fire. Owners are urged to be vigilant for a fuel odor, which may indicate a potential leak both inside and outside their vehicles.
Ford has informed dealers nationwide about this issue and will begin mailing notifications to affected owners starting in August. Vehicle owners are encouraged to visit any Ford or Lincoln dealer to resolve the issue promptly.
This recall follows another significant action by Ford, which recently recalled more than 850,000 vehicles due to separate fuel pump problems. The automaker is taking these issues seriously and aims to ensure the safety of all its customers.
As the situation develops, vehicle owners are advised to keep an eye on their mail for official notifications and to act quickly. The safety of drivers and passengers is paramount, and immediate action can prevent potential hazards.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as Ford continues to address these critical safety concerns.
