Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 33,576 Escape (2020-2022) and Bronco Sport (2021-2023) vehicles because a fuel injector may crack. If an injector cracks, it can leak fuel directly into the engine compartment, which could lead to a fire. These specific vehicles were previously repaired incorrectly under prior recall campaigns. Ford dealers will update the powertrain control module (PCM) software for free to address the issue.

Risk

Leaking fuel inside the engine compartment can ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine or exhaust components, significantly increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
