Ford is recalling certain 2020-2024 Escape and Bronco Sport vehicles with 1.5L engines. Fuel injectors may crack and leak fuel, creating a fire risk near hot engine components.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: A fuel system defect creating fire risk constitutes a serious hazard, but the source text reports no actual fires, injuries, or deaths. Per the rubric, a risk-of-harm product without reported injury scores at most 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2020-2024 Ford Escape and Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with 1.5L engines. The recalled vehicles have fuel injectors that may crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment.

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source, such as a hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.

Owners have already received interim notification letters about the safety risk, mailed on August 29, 2025. A second notification letter will be sent once the final remedy (replacement of the fuel rail assembly and fuel injector) is available, anticipated in July 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 with questions.
