What's wrong, in plain English
On certain Ford Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles with 1.5-liter engines, a fuel injector may crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment. If this fuel leak occurs near a hot engine or exhaust part, it could ignite. Ford will update the engine control software as an interim fix, and will later replace the high-pressure fuel rail assembly and fuel injectors to fully correct the problem.
What you should do
2. Contact a Ford dealer, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
3. As an interim repair, dealers will update the engine control software for free; the full repair (replacing the fuel rail assembly and injectors) will also be free once available.
