Ford Recalls Thousands Of Vehicles Due To Fire Risk

Owners are being advised to take their vehicle to their Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the issue resolved at no charge.

Ford is recalling over 120 thousand Escape SUVs, Maverick Pickups, and Lincoln Corsair Luxury SUVs due to the risk of fire.

All three models share similar engineering and the recall has been placed due to the risk of their engines leaking fluid and catching fire when they contact hot parts in the vehicles’ engine compartment.

All the vehicles being recalled are hybrid or plug-in hybrid versions.

Owners are being advised to take their vehicle to their Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the issue resolved at no charge.

In the meantime, owners are warned that if they hear an unusual noise from under the hood, experience random loss of power or smell smoke, they should immediately find someplace safe to pull over and shut the vehicle off.
