Quick Glance: Ford recalls nearly 43,000 SUVs due to gas leaks
- Ford is recalling nearly 43,000 small SUVs because gasoline can leak from the fuel injectors onto hot engine surfaces, increasing the risk of fires, without fixing the fuel leaks.
- The recall covers certain Bronco Sport SUVs from the 2022 and 2023 model years, as well as Escape SUVs from 2022 with 1.5-liter engines.
- Dealers will install a tube to let gasoline flow away from hot surfaces and update engine control software to detect a pressure drop in the fuel injection system.
- Ford will extend warranty coverage for cracked fuel injectors and provide replacements for owners who experience the issue.
