Ford is recalling more than 694,000 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles because the fuel injector may crack and leak, which may cause a fire. If fuel leaks inside the engine compartment and there’s a hot engine or exhaust components, it could increase the risk of a fire.

The cracked fuel injector may allow gas to leak and could cause a fire if the fuel drips onto a hot engine or parts of the exhaust system.

Ford Motor Company has announced a recall of 694,271 vehicles globally due to a potential issue with the fuel injector that may crack and lead to underhood fires. The recall affects certain models of the 2021-2024 Ford Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Ford Escape,
