According to an online article posted on autoblog.com, the Ford Motor Company has recalled three hybrid model lines due to a serious defect that can lead to a deadly fire. The recalls include over 100,000 motor vehicles sold in the United States. Ford’s recall includes the Maverick, Escape, and Lincoln Corsair hybrids manufactured from 2020 through 2022. The fire issue can lead to severe motor vehicle accidents because the vehicle’s engine can fail.
According to Consumer Reports, a defect can cause a dangerous fuel leak event causing the engine block or oil pan to fail. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has not posted these recalls online, so there are few details available. Autoblog.com stated that it contacted Ford to provide additional details about the recalls.
The recall notifications for this recall have already been sent to dealerships. Affected owners should be notified in the next few months.
Ford has issued a previous recall concerning its new compact pickup due to an issue concerning its trailer braking software. Another recall was issued to correct seatbelt mount issues and defective fuel tanks.
