Ford is recalling more than 42,000 vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Ford is recalling 42,652 2022-2023 Broncos and 2022 Escapes because the fuel injector may crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment. The leak in the presence of an ignition source such as a hot engine or exhaust components can increase the risk of a fire.

Dealers will update the engine control software to include fuel injector leak detection and install a drain tube, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed in April. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S16. This recall is an expansion of the previous recall number 22V-859.
