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.

Ford has recalled almost 700,000 Escape and Bronco Sport vehicle models amid concerns of a fuel injector cracking. The issue leads to an increased risk of a fire due to fluid leaking into the engine. The recall pertains to Escape models built between 2020-2022 and Bronco Sport models built from 2021-2024.

Cracked fuel injector in some Ford SUVs may cause leaks inside a vehicle's engine, increasing the risk of a fire, regulators say.
