The action applies to certain Bronco Sport and Escape models from 2020 to 2024, according to documents posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. Ford has identified eight instances that involved cracking in a fuel injector and a fire under the car’s hood. None of these resulted in injuries.
