Ford Motor Company is recalling 404 vehicles, including certain 2023-2025 Ford Escape and 2025 Bronco Sport models. The engine's cylinder head may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause ball plugs to fail and leak oil. An oil leak can cause the vehicle to lose power while driving or start a fire if it contacts hot engine parts. Dealers will replace the cylinder head assembly free of charge to resolve the issue.
Leaking oil can spray onto hot engine or exhaust components, significantly increasing the risk of a fire. Additionally, the leak may result in a sudden loss of drive power, which increases the likelihood of a crash.
