In 2025, Ford faces unprecedented safety recalls, surpassing previous records, prompting concerns over its reliability. A total of 694,271 crossover SUVs are being recalled due to a fuel leak risk that could trigger fires. The recalled models include the 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Escape with 1.5 liter engines. This recall follows a year-long investigation and is expected to cost Ford approximately $570 million. Additional recalls were also issued earlier in response to concerns over low-pressure fuel pumps that could lead to vehicle stalling.
The auto maker has already blown by the previous record for the most safety recalls in a calendar year, and now another major round of recalls is calling the brand's reliability into question.
Ford will recall 694,271 crossover SUVs over a fuel leak problem that could cause a fire under the hood, affecting models such as the Bronco Sport and Escape.
The latest recall is the result of a year-long investigation, and the company told Reuters that it will cost an estimated $570 million for Ford to resolve.
At the time of the prior recalls, Ford said that it was confident the lesser fixes would 'prevent the failure from occurring and protect the customer.'
