Park outdoors! Ford recalls nearly 40,000 SUVs over concerns engines could randomly ignite. At least 16 fires have been reported and one person was burned. Here's what affected owners should do.
Ford is also recalling electric Mustang Mach-E SUVs because of a software problem that cause unintended acceleration, deceleration or a loss of drive power in all-wheel-drive vehiclesFord is asking the owners of 350,000 vehicles to take them to dealers for repairs in three recalls, including about 39,000 that should be parked outdoors because the engines can catch fire.
Ford says in U.S. government documents posted Thursday that it doesn't know what's causing fires in some 2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. But the company says fires can happen even while the engines are off. Ford has reports of 16 fires under the hood, 14 in rental company vehicles. One person was burned. It's recommending that the SUVs be parked outdoors and away from buildings. So far it hasn't developed a repair for the fires, which appear to start at the back of the engine compartment on the passenger side.
Of the 16 fires, 12 happened while the SUV engines were turned off, Ford said in a prepared statement. The company says it has no reports of fires extending to any buildings.
