More than 694,000 vehicles in the U.S are being recalled.
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 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 company’s 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 didn’t have updated engine control software. The automaker isn’t aware of any injuries related to the fires.
Earlier this month Ford’s 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.
Transport Canada said Ford will notify owners by mail.
“As an interim repair, a dealer will update the engine control software to detect fuel injector leaks,” Transport Canada said.
“Owners that have already received this software update will be informed that the interim repair is not required. Once the final repair is available, you will need to return to a dealership. The final corrective actions for this recall are under development.”
Vehicle owners can contact Ford Canada’s customer service at 1-800-565-3673 and reference recall number 25S76.
