FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

The defect
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Escape vehicles equipped with 1.5L engines. A fuel injector may crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment.
What it can cause
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source, such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.
What the dealer does
Dealers will update the engine control software. In addition, dealers will replace the high-pressure fuel rail assembly and fuel injectors, free of charge. As an interim repair, dealers will update the engine control software, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed August 29, 2025. Second letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated in July 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S76. This recall expands and replaces previous recall numbers 22V-859, 24V187, and 25V165. Vehicles previously remedied under 22V-859, 24V187, and 25V165 will need to have the new final remedy performed once it is available.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

Which vehicles

A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares

At 694,271 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Ford vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 85 times before this, most recently in July 2025 as 25V455000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for all 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 3,428 complaints with NHTSA, 2,397 of them before this campaign was filed. 366 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2019, 5 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 40 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V340000 (suspension), 26V123000 (back over prevention), 26V117000 (visibility), 25V829000 (structure).

Check your own car

A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.

Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on July 11, 2025 as campaign 25V467000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
