Ford Motor Company is recalling 1,809 vehicles, including certain 2020-2023 Ford Escape, 2021-2023 Lincoln Corsair, and 2022-2023 Ford Maverick models with 2.5L hybrid (HEV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engines. These vehicles were previously repaired incorrectly for a separate issue, and a potential engine failure could now cause oil or fuel vapor to leak and ignite on hot engine parts. Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to fix this issue at no cost to owners.
In the event of an engine failure, fuel and oil vapors can escape and accumulate near hot engine or exhaust components. This creates a significant risk of an engine compartment fire, which increases the possibility of injury to occupants or bystanders.
