Ford has recalled more than 500,000 Escape and BroncoSport SUVs in the U.S. due to a fire risk involving the fuel injector.
Ford has recalled more than half a million Escape and Bronco Sport SUVs in the U.S. due to a fire risk. Around 114,000 of the vehicles in other countries are also affected.
In a filing with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, Ford said: “A fuel injector may crack, resulting in fuel and/or fuel vapor migrating to and/or accumulating near ignition sources, resulting in potential under-hood fire.” According to Reuters, Ford has so far received 54 reports of 1.5-liter under-hood fires. Four of them involved cracked fuel injectors, while about 13 were potentially caused by a leaking fuel injector. No fatalities have been linked to the issue.Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to
As only 1% of the recalled vehicles are estimated to be affected by the fault, Ford is not advising owners of the recalled SUVs to stop driving their vehicle.
