Ford recall: Fuel system, gasoline

Do not drive. NHTSA and the maker advise owners not to drive these vehicles until they are repaired.

What is wrong

Ford is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured from October 5, 2011, through July 11, 2012, and equipped with a 1.6L engine. These vehicles have an engine compartment fuel line which may split, resulting in a leak.

What could happen

If this leak occurs in the presence of an ignition source, there is an increased risk of a fire and/or personal injury.

The fix

Ford will notify and instruct owners to stop driving their vehicles and contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer to arrange pick-up of their vehicle. Customers will be provided with a rental vehicle if needed. The dealer will replace the engine compartment fuel line, free charge. The recall began on August 10, 2012. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.
