Ford Recalls 519,000 Broncos And Escapes Over Cracked Fuel Injectors Sparking Engine Fires Ford Motor Company waited until Thanksgiving morning to announce a sizeable recall of more than 500,000 Bronco Sport and Escapes for possible cracked fuel injectors that could cause fuel and/or fuel vapor to leak onto a hot engine and cause fires. The Dearborn, Michigan, automaker said Bronco Sport and Escape owners with 3-cylinder, 1.5L engines are “urged” to visit the closest dealership for inspection. Repairs aren”t yet available. So Ford will provide an engine update to “detect whether the fuel injector is cracked and, if so, provide a dashboard message to customers to seek service.” If fuel pressure drops, the “engine power will automatically be reduced to minimize any risk, while also allowing customers to drive to a safe locations, and stop the vehicle and arrange for service.” Dealers will also install a tube-draining fuel line from the cylinder head away from the engine and check for excessive fuel odor before a fix is available. “Once the repair is available, we will ask customers to schedule service with their preferred dealer.

Ford Motor (NYSE:F) is recalling over 518,000 SUVs in the U.S. on account of some fire incidents in two of its sport utility vehicle (SUV) models. Given the challenging macroeconomic environment, intense competition, and declining demand for its SUVs, the recall will probably be a setback for the company. Also, the news might put pressure on Ford stock, which is down more than 35% year-to-date. Reportedly, the faulty fuel injector is said to cause the accumulation of fuel or fuel vapor near hot surfaces, leading to an under-hood fire.

Ford recalls nearly 519,000 US vehicles over fire risks

Thursday, 24 November 2022, 12:53:17
Ford Motor Co is recalling nearly 519,000 sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in the United States over fire risks from possible cracked fuel injectors and will urge owners to have their cars inspected, it said on Thursday. America’s No.2 automaker by sales said the recall covers 2020-2023 model year Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs with 3 cylinder, 1.5 liter engines, including many also recalled in April because an oil separator housing could crack and develop a leak that could cause an engine fire. Ford said when engines in the SUVs covered by the latest recall are operating, a cracked fuel injector could cause fuel or fuel vapor to accumulate near hot surfaces, potentially resulting in fire under the hood. Once repairs are available dealers will update vehicle software to detect whether a fuel injector is cracked and provide a dashboard message to alert drivers. “If a pressure drop in the fuel rail is detected, engine power will automatically be reduced to minimize any risk, while also allowing customers to drive to a safe location and stop the vehicle and arrange for service,” Ford added.
