Ford is recalling nearly 700,000 vehicles due to a potential fire risk caused by cracked fuel injectors.
The recall affects Ford Bronco Sport models from 2021 to 2024 and Ford Escape vehicles from 2020 to 2022.
According to Ford, a fuel injector may crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment. If this fuel comes in contact with a hot surface, it could ignite and cause a fire under the hood.
