Ford has announced a recall affecting 42,652 Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs in the United States due to a concerning issue with cracked fuel injectors. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) made this information public on Wednesday.

The problem lies in the potential for these cracked injectors to leak fuel, posing a significant fire hazard.

To address this issue, Ford will be implementing a solution involving updates to the engine control software.
