Ford has issued a recall of about 85,000 vehicles due to the risk of an engine fire. According to reports, in the event of an engine failure, engine oil and fuel may be released into the engine compartment and accumulate near ignition sources such as hot engine or exhaust components, possibly resulting in an engine compartment fire.
Affected vehicles include 2020-2022 Ford Explorer SUVs equipped with 3.3L hybrid and gas engines. Ford will update the PCM software and possible engine replacement free of charge.
