What Happened — and How It's Fixed

The Defect

On approximately 858,000 Ford Bronco Sport (2021–2024) and Escape (2020–2022) vehicles equipped with the 1.5L gasoline turbocharged direct injection three-cylinder engine, a fuel injector may crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment. Leaking fuel can escape through a drain hole in the cylinder head and pool near ignition sources, increasing the risk of an underhood fire even when the vehicle is parked. The original injectors were sourced from Tier 1 supplier Dumarey Flowmotion Technologies. This recall expands and replaces previous recalls 22V-859 (Nov 2022), 24V-187 (March 2024), and 25V-165 (March 2025). Ford identified injector cracking on eight vehicles that experienced underhood fires. Drivers may notice fuel odors inside or outside the vehicle, instrument cluster warnings, or smoke and flames from the engine compartment.

The Risk

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source, such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.

The Free Fix

Interim remedy: dealers update the engine control software to detect a cracked fuel injector and disable the high-pressure fuel pump, derate engine power, and reduce ignition source temperatures. The final remedy is currently under development. Vehicles previously remedied under prior recalls will need to have the new final remedy performed once available. Ford extended fuel injector warranty to 15 years or 150,000 miles. Owner notification letters mailed August 18, 2025; second letters will follow when the final remedy is available, anticipated July 2026.
