Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 69 of its 2022 Explorer and Ranger vehicles equipped with 2.3L engines. These vehicles may have fuel lines that were not tightened correctly during manufacturing, which can lead to a fuel leak. Ford will inspect the fuel line connection and replace the assembly if necessary at no cost to owners.

Risk

A loose fuel line connection can cause fuel to leak in the engine compartment. Because fuel is highly flammable, any leak significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you own a 2022 Ford Explorer or 2022 Ford Ranger equipped with a 2.3L engine.
  2. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer to schedule a free inspection and, if needed, a replacement of the fuel line assembly.
  3. If you smell fuel or see signs of a leak under the vehicle, contact your dealer immediately to arrange for service.
  4. For more information, contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 22S60.
  5. You may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
