CAROLINE WOODS: Attention Ford owners – a major recall you need to know about. Ford is recalling nearly 700,000 Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs over a fuel injector that could crack and leak and potentially lead to engine fires.
The recall covers Bronco Sports made from 2021 to 2024 and Escapes made from 2020 to 2022 with 1.5-liter engines.
This isn’t a new problem. Ford first flagged the issue in November of 2022 and tried to fix it with new software that could detect a fuel leak and prevent a fire from starting. But in July 2024, a vehicle caught on fire despite receiving the software upgrade.
So far, 8 under-hood fires have been reported, 6 of which involved vehicles without the updated software.
According to the recall notice – a remedy is currently under development, but dealers will continue to update the engine control software, free of charge.
