Ford is recalling more than 694,000 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles because the fuel injector may crack and leak, which may cause a fire.

If fuel leaks inside the engine compartment and there’s a hot engine or exhaust components, it could increase the risk of a fire.

The recall impacts certain 2021-24 Bronco Sport and 2020-22 Escape vehicles equipped with 1.5L engines.

Ford has been looking into the fuel injector issue since 2022, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The company’s field review committee approved recalls in November 2022, March 2024 and March 2025, during which it performed software updates.

A letter notifying vehicle owners of the safety risk is expected to be mailed on Aug. 18.

A second letter will be sent once the final remedy is available.

Vehicle owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, reference recall number 25S76.
