Overview

• The recall covers 2021–2024 Bronco Sport and 2020–2022 Escape models with 1.5L engines and replaces all prior software-only actions.
• An NHTSA investigation concluded that earlier updates did not address the root cause of injector cracking that can lead to engine-compartment fires.
• Ford found cracked injectors in eight fire incidents and estimates that about 0.3% of the recalled vehicles—roughly 2,083 cars—have the defect.
• Owner notification letters will be sent by August 18, with follow-up mailings scheduled once the permanent mechanical fix is available.
• The injector parts, supplied by Italy’s Dumarey Flowmotion Technologies, underscore wider supply-chain challenges amid Ford’s record pace of safety recalls.
