What's wrong, in plain English

Ford is recalling these vehicles because the fuel injectors may have been assembled without O-ring support discs. Without these discs in place, the fuel injectors can develop a fuel leak. A fuel leak that happens near something that could ignite it raises the chance of a fire starting in the vehicle. This affects certain Lincoln Corsair, Escape, Mustang, and Explorer vehicles built with this fuel injector assembly problem.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Ford dealer to schedule the repair; you can also call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
3. Dealers will install new fuel injector O-rings and O-ring support discs, free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 24V634000.
