Thousands of Ford SUVs recalled in Canada over gas leaks that may cause fires

Ford recalled 2,950 small SUVs in Canada over gas leaks that may cause fires, a Ford Canada spokesperson told CTVNews.ca in an email Thursday.

The recall impacts certain Bronco Sport SUVs from the 2022 and 2023 model years, as well as Escape SUVs from 2022.

In the U.S., nearly 43,000 vehicles were recalled and the recall cited that gasoline can leak from the fuel injectors onto hot engine surfaces, increasing the risk of fires.
