*Model Year 2023 Escape vehicles were removed from the affected vehicles list after the Advance Bulletin was published.

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

Note: Some vehicles may be in the process of being repaired at the plant. Monitor OASIS before opening an RO and/or beginning a repair. Parts purchased for an FSA can be returned for credit, if required. See the EXCESS STOCK RETURN details in Attachment II for more information.

Parts, in limited quantities, and software are now available for all vehicles. Refer to the Parts Requirements/Ordering Information in Attachment II for ordering information.

 

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

In some of the affected vehicles there is a possibility that a high-pressure fuel injector may crack, which may result in fuel accumulating on the top of the engine. Liquid fuel and/or fuel vapor that accumulates near a sufficiently hot surface may ignite resulting in an underhood fire, increasing the risk of injury.

NOTE: When FSA 22S73 is completed and claimed, customer satisfaction program 22N18 (to be released in February 2023) will be automatically activated on the VIN, which will provide a one-time repair to replace the high-pressure fuel injectors in the event of a cracked high-pressure injector (see 22N18 for coverage details).

 

SERVICE ACTION

Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to install a drain tube into the engine cylinder head and reprogram the PCM, using the FordeBay logo Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS). This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

NOTE: Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) cannot be used for programming on the affected vehicles in this program.

2021-2023 Ford Bronco® Sport and 2020-2023 Ford Escape® SUV Safety Recall

Recall Reference Number: 22S73

There is nothing more important to us than the safety of our customers, which is why FordeBay logo is issuing a recall on some 2021, 2022 and 2023 Bronco Sport and 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 Escape models. There is a chance the fuel injector can crack, which may lead to an underhood fire. If you own or lease a Bronco Sport or Escape from these model years, you can check your recall status by entering your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) here.

If your SUV has a cracked fuel injector, a strong smell of gasoline is one of the first signs. If you smell gas or smoke, or see smoke, park your SUV and contact your FordeBay logo Dealer to have your vehicle inspected. When service is available, a FordeBay logo Technician will perform a Software Update that will detect a drop in fuel pressure and automatically reduce engine power. A tube will also be installed to drain fuel away from hot surfaces.

Building vehicles you and the people who ride with you can count on is our top priority. For questions or concerns about the 2021-2023 Bronco Sport and 2020-2023 Escape SUV safety recall 22S73, please call 1-866-436-7332.

FordeBay logo Motor Company
Date of Submission:  11/18/2022
FSA Number:  22S73
Title:  Certain 2020-2023 FordeBay logo Escape and Bronco Sport – Under Hood Fire

Chronology

August-October 2022

On August 18, 2022 an issue pertaining to under hood fire on 2020-2022MY Escape and Bronco Sport vehicles was brought to FordeBay logo’s Critical Concern Review Group for review.  That issue concerned prior under hood fire reports from oil separator inspections related to recall FSA 22S21 (NHTSA Recall No. 22V-191).  Specifically, FordeBay logo reviewed two under hood fire reports from a 2022MY Escape and 2022MY Bronco Sport vehicle with the 1.5L engine.  FordeBay logo assessed the report findings as inconclusive; however, the vehicle inspections raised concern there may be a contributing cause for under hood fire in addition to the oil separator recall.

As of August 18, 2022, there were (36) total reports of under hood fire for 2020-2022MY 1.5L Bronco Sport and Escape, approximately (10) of which had occurred after the oil separator production change and since FSA 22S21 (NHTSA Recall No. 22V-191) inspection was performed and passed.

FordeBay logo CCRG and Engineering groups investigated the underhood fire reports and inspected available vehicles.  Based upon FordeBay logo Engineering’s observations of a fuel smell upon inspection of a 2020MY Escape with limited fire damage, the fuel injectors were removed for additional analysis.  The fuel injectors from three (3) other repurchased vehicles that experienced under hood fire were also removed for analysis.  The fuel injector supplier provided an analysis for four (4) of the vehicles’ returned fuel injectors, finding one (1) injector cracked from each of the vehicles.

 

November 2022

As of November 1, 2022, there were fifty-four (54) reports alleging fire underhood on 20202022MY Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles, equipped with the 1.5L dragon engine, in North America inclusive of incidents previously reported under FSA 22S21 (NHTSA Recall No.  22V191), which were re-evaluated.

A complete accounting of all fifty-four (54) 1.5L under hood fire reports known to FordeBay logo includes:  four (4) of them have had one confirmed cracked fuel injector determined from the fuel injector supplier tear-down analysis.  FordeBay logo Engineering assessed the fifty (50) remaining reports, determining:  approximately thirteen (13) others were likely caused by a leaking fuel injector (based upon customer reports and available vehicle information), three (3) involved previous fuel system related repairs which may have been mis-diagnosed and potentially involved a leaking fuel injector, one (1) was attributed to incomplete repair from a previous crash event, one (1) was attributed to arson, three (3) were related to potential electrical system concerns, five (5) were attributed to oil separator leaks, and twenty-four (24) are of an undetermined origin.

On November 2, 2022 and November 9, 2022 the investigation findings were reviewed, which included:

Warranty data last accessed on October 19, 2022 included (143) reports of fuel injectors with external leak failures reported for 2020-2022 Escape and Bronco Sport vehicles with the 1.5L engine in the U.S. and Canada.  Based upon these warranty claims, FordeBay logo is projecting a low failure rate for fuel injectors experiencing external leak(s) at 15 years/150,000 miles  (approximately 0.38% for 2020MY vehicles and 0.22% for 2021-2022MY vehicles).

FordeBay logo is aware of (8) VOQs and (1) Transport Canada complaint describing under hood fire in 2020-2022 Escape and Bronco Sport vehicles with the 1.5L engine.  Of the (8) VOQs and (1) Transport Canada complaint, it is FordeBay logo’s estimation that (5) are potentially attributable to the defect condition. The earliest known report of underhood fire on 2020-2023 Escape or Bronco Sport with the 1.5L engine occurred on September 9, 2020.  The cause for this occurrence is unknown.

FordeBay logo is aware of no fatalities, four alleged injuries from two separate incidents, and (43) legal claims from a fire potentially attributable to this condition.  The claims of injury were reported to FordeBay logo on July 5, 2021 and November 26, 2021.

On November 10, 2022, FordeBay logo’s Field Review Committee (FRC) reviewed the concern and approved a field action. The population recalled through this action includes all vehicles originally included in FSA 22S21 (NHTSA Recall No. 22V-191) and expands the population to include vehicles produced up through October 17, 2022.
