Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 521,746 vehicles, specifically 2020-2023 Ford Escape and 2021-2023 Ford Bronco Sport models equipped with 1.5L engines. A fuel injector in these engines may crack, causing fuel to leak inside the engine compartment. This recall also includes vehicles previously repaired under a different recall (22V-191), meaning those owners must have their vehicles serviced again for this new remedy. Dealers will update the engine control software and install a drain tube to mitigate the risk of fire at no cost to owners.
A fuel leak in the engine compartment can come into contact with hot engine or exhaust components, which can ignite the fuel and cause a vehicle fire.
