Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles Due to Fire Risk
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The recall affects 694,271 SUVs with cracked fuel injectors that may leak fuel and cause fires; Ford offers a software update as an interim safety measure while a fix is developed.
- Ford is recalling approximately 694,271 Bronco Sport and Escape crossover SUVs due to fuel injectors that may crack and cause engine compartment fires.
- The recall follows a year-long investigation after NHTSA opened a query in 2024 that found previous fixes did not address the root cause.
- Ford found cracked injectors in eight vehicles with under-hood fires, six of which lacked the recommended updated engine software included in the recall.
- Ford’s temporary solution involves a software update that can identify leaking injectors, limit the engine’s performance, and stop fuel flow, while a permanent mechanical solution is still being developed.
- Ford estimates the recall will cost about $570 million, which will impact its second quarter 2025 results, and dealers will perform free engine updates.
