Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 125,322 vehicles, including certain 2020-2023 Escape, 2022-2023 Maverick, and 2021-2023 Corsair models equipped with 2.5L HEV or PHEV engines. The recall is due to potential engine failures that can cause oil and fuel vapor to leak into the engine compartment and ignite near hot components. Dealers will update software or replace the engine long-block for free to prevent fires, even if the vehicle was previously repaired under a previous recall (22V-484).
If the engine fails, combustible fluids and vapors can accumulate near ignition sources like the exhaust, resulting in an engine compartment fire that increases the risk of injury.
You have 2 options:
Software update for the powertrain control module.
Engine long-block replacement.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
