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 theres a hot engine or exhaust components, it could increase the risk of a fire.
The recall impacts certain 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Escape vehicles equipped with 1.5L engines.
Ford has been looking into the fuel injector issue since 2022, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The companys field review committee approved recalls in November 2022, March 2024 and March 2025, during which it performed software updates.
Ford has continued to investigate the issue. As part of the ongoing process, the automaker looked at corrosion as a contributing factor to fuel injector cracks between April and May 2025.
Ford identified injector cracking on eight vehicles that experienced underhood fires. Six of the vehicles didnt have updated engine control software. The automaker isnt aware of any injuries related to the fires.
Earlier this month Fords field review committee decided to issue a recall for certain vehicles to update their engine control software for free until a final remedy is available.
A letter notifying vehicle owners of the safety risk is expected to be mailed on Aug. 18. A second letter will be sent once the final remedy is available. Vehicle owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 25S76.
福特汽车公司正在召回超过69.4万辆Bronco Sport和Escape车型，原因是燃油喷射器可能出现裂纹并导致泄漏，从而引发火灾风险。
若燃油在发动机舱内泄漏，且舱内有高温发动机或排气部件，可能会增加起火风险。
此次召回涉及部分配备1.5升发动机的2021至2024款Bronco Sport及2020至2022款Escape车型。
据美国国家公路交通安全管理局透露，福特公司自2022年起一直在调查燃油喷射器问题。该公司的现场审查委员会于2022年11月、2024年3月和2025年3月批准了召回计划，期间同步执行了软件升级。
福特公司持续调查该问题。作为调查进程的一部分，该汽车制造商在2025年4月至5月期间研究了腐蚀作为导致燃油喷射器裂纹的因素。
福特公司发现八辆发动机舱起火的车辆存在喷油器开裂问题，其中六辆未升级发动机控制软件。该汽车制造商表示，目前未收到与火灾相关的伤亡报告。
本月早些时候，福特汽车现场审查委员会决定对部分车辆发起召回，为其免费更新发动机控制软件，直至最终解决方案出台。
福特公司将于8月18日向车主寄送安全风险通知函。待最终补救方案确定后，将再次发送通知函。车主可拨打福特客服电话1-866-436-7332，并提供召回编号25S76进行咨询。
