The Bronco Sport and Escape models were found to be incendiary.
Blame the injectors, which are prone to cracking and fuel leakage. After 22 cases of fires in the engine compartment of these cars, Ford notified the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in November 2022 of a potential problem in 521.8 thousand cars.
As a solution, Ford suggested flashing the engine control module to detect a leak and signal it to the driver, as well as installing a tube designed to divert fuel from hot surfaces by directing it to drain to the ground. The main thing is that at this time no one smokes near the car and then throws a butt under the car.
Naturally, this outraged the owners, and eventually a class action lawsuit came against the manufacturer on behalf of the owners of these crossovers. It emphasizes that such a decision poses a danger to both car owners and the environment.
