From the Ford Authority: https://fordauthority.com/2023/02/ford-escape-bronco-sport-owners-sue-over-alleged-defect/
"This past November, The Blue Oval issued recalls for 2021-2023 Ford Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Ford Escape models equipped with the turbocharged Ford 1.5L I-3 EcoBoost engine after it found that a fuel injector may crack and leak fuel inside the engine compartment, which could cause a fire as well. To fix the problem, Ford instructed dealers to update the engine control software to include fuel injector leak detection and install a drain tube. " "Thus far, 54 fires have been reported in affected Ford Escape and Bronco Sport models, with 17 of those incidents confirmed to have been caused by a cracked fuel injector."
I know this is a totally different engine. But fuel injectors are somewhat a commodity item and it would understandable if Ford used these same injectors on the majority of their vehicles. (alterations made to accommodate each engine, of course, but same manufacturing technique)
So, the question I have is, does anyone know if the EB and / or the Hybrid use these same plastic injectors?
