Ford recalls over 33K vehicles for risk of engine fire

Ford is recalling 33,576 Escapes and Broncos, specifically some 2020-2022 Escapes and 2021-2023 Bronco Sports, due to a cracked fuel injector.
The recall is necessary because the vehicles were previously repaired incorrectly under two separate recalls, and a cracked fuel injector may leak fuel into the engine compartment.
A fuel leak coming in contact with a hot engine or exhaust components could spark a fire, and the vehicles potentially have a rear axle horizontal mounting bolt that may fracture, causing the driveshaft to disconnect.
The company's internal recall number is 25S21, and owners will receive a notification letter after April 24, with Ford's direct line available at 866-436-7332.
Dealers will update the powertrain control module software for free, while other recalls from March 24 to March 30 by the NHTSA included over 30,000 Ford vehicles and affected Cadillac, Chevrolet, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Volvo, Nissan, and Infiniti vehicles for various issues like fire risk, gear problems, door lock malfunctions, and faulty brake calipers.
