Ford Motor is recalling more than 634,000 SUVs globally after it came to light that these vehicles may run a risk of a cracked fuel injector that can leak vapors or spill fuel onto a hot engine, potentially triggering a fire.
The recall is for the Escape and Bronco Sport SUVs for all models between 2020 and 2023. The vehicles have 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engines. In the United States, the recall affects 518,993 vehicles. “If your SUV has a cracked fuel injector, a strong smell of gasoline is one of the first signs. If you smell gas or smoke, or see smoke, park your SUV and contact your Ford Dealer to have your vehicle inspected,” the company said in its recall statement.
