Whoever writes up the recall notices at Ford has put a lot of miles on the keyboard lately. Just about every Ford brand is affected.
Group 1
The first batch involves these models:
- 2023 Lincoln Corsair,
- 2023-2024 Escape,
- 2024 Mustang, and
- 2025 Explorer vehicles.
The problem is that some fuel injectors may have been assembled without O-ring support discs, which can result in a fuel leak.
