Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 10 of its 2023 Explorer vehicles equipped with 2.3L GTDI engines. A manufacturing issue may have caused damage to the turbocharger oil supply line, which can lead to an oil leak inside the engine compartment. Ford dealers will replace the affected turbo oil supply line assembly at no cost to the vehicle owners.

Risk

Leaking oil can come into contact with extremely hot engine or exhaust parts, which creates a fire hazard. Additionally, if the engine loses enough oil, it may suddenly stall while driving, which increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Confirm if your vehicle is affected by checking if you own a 2023 Ford Explorer equipped with the 2.3L GTDI engine.
  2. Monitor your vehicle for any signs of an oil leak, such as smoke coming from the engine compartment or the illumination of the oil pressure warning light.
  3. If you see smoke or an oil warning light, pull over safely, park the vehicle, and shut off the engine as soon as possible.
  4. Contact a Ford dealer to schedule a free replacement of the turbocharger oil supply line assembly.
