Ford is recalling nearly 43,000 small SUVs because gasoline can leak from the fuel injectors onto hot engine surfaces, increasing the risk of fires. But the recall remedy does not include repairing the fuel leaks. The recall covers certain Bronco Sport SUVs from the 2022 and 2023 model years, as well as Escape SUVs from 2022. Ford says in documents filed with the NHTSA that fuel injectors can crack, and gasoline or vapor can accumulate near ignition sources, possibly touching off fires.
