Ford is recalling 694,271 Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs due to a faulty fuel injector that can leak, posing a fire risk. The recall affects certain 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Escape vehicles with 1.5L engines. The issue could lead to fuel leaks in the engine compartment, which increases the risk of fire. Ford is considering long-term remedies and will update the engine control software as an interim measure to detect cracked fuel injectors and reduce potential ignition sources. Owners will be notified, and the recall is part of a series of safety measures impacting over 5 million vehicles this year.
