The recalls stem from concerns around the potential loss of drive power and a risk of underhood fires. For fleet owners and drivers alike, it’s crucial to stay informed and take immediate action to ensure their vehicles receive the necessary fixes. ##### **Overview** 1. **Bronco Sport and Maverick Pickup Recalls** Over 456,000 Bronco Sport SUVs (2021-2024) and Maverick pickup trucks (2022-2023) are included in a recall due to potential failure in body and power train control modules. These modules might not detect a low charge in the 12-volt battery, leading to a loss of electrical accessories or drive power, thereby increasing the risk of accidents. Dealers will recalibrate the modules at no cost, with notification letters expected by May 13, 2024. 2. **Bronco Sport and Escape Recalls Due to Fuel Injector Cracks** More than 42,000 Bronco Sport (2022-2023) and Escape (2022) SUVs equipped with 1.5L engines are being recalled due to possible cracks in the fuel injectors, potentially leading to fuel leaks in the engine compartment. This creates a fire risk if ignition sources like hot engine or exhaust components are present. Dealers will update the engine control software and install a drain tube free of charge, with notification letters expected this month. 3. **Connection to Prior Recall** This new recall follows a similar one from November 2022, which affected over 518,000 vehicles. Some models received new injectors but didn't receive the software update, which was deemed unnecessary due to the new injectors' robustness. However, Ford now recognizes that certain models still require the software update for accurate fuel injector leak detection and enhanced safety. 4. **Ford's Warranty Extension** Ford will extend warranty coverage for cracked fuel injectors, with further details expected in June. Ford will also recalibrate modules and update the engine control software to ensure that vehicles impacted by these recalls remain safe. ##### **Conclusion** Owners of Ford Bronco Sport, Escape, or Maverick vehicles should confirm if their models are involved in these recalls and arrange repairs promptly. Proper recalibration and software updates will reduce risks, improve safety, and maintain the reliability of your vehicles. ##### **Call to Action** Fleet owners should contact their nearest Ford dealer to verify their vehicle’s recall status and schedule repairs.
