According to Ford, a fuel injector may crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment, leading to an under-hood fire.

The US car company has issued another critical recall over fears thousands of vehicles could catch fire, posing a huge risk to customers.

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.
