2022 Lincoln Corsair recall for engine compartment fire risk

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle defect involving engine compartment fire risk with potential for injury. Although no deaths or reported injuries are stated in the source, the hazard involves ignition of accumulated flammable materials in a confined space, meeting the Severe criteria for a defect with risk-of-harm and structural vehicle system involvement.

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. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, or Ford's recall number for this campaign is 25S54.
