Plain-English summary
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 Lincoln Corsair vehicles, along with 2020–2023 Ford Escape and 2022–2023 Ford Maverick vehicles, all equipped with 2.5L hybrid or plug-in hybrid engines. These vehicles were repaired incorrectly under recall 23V380.
If an engine failure occurs in these vehicles, engine oil and fuel vapor may be released into the engine compartment. This accumulation near ignition sources such as hot engine or exhaust components could result in an engine compartment fire, increasing the risk of injury.
Owners should park and shut off the engine as quickly as possible if they hear unexpected engine noises, notice a reduction in vehicle power, or see smoke. Dealers will update the powertrain control module software at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2025.
