Two major automakers Ford and Jaguar have announced urgent vehicle safety recalls affecting a combined 695,000+ vehicles in the U.S., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Both recalls involve critical components that, if left unaddressed, could significantly increase the risk of injury or fire in the event of an incident.
Ford Recall: Cracked Fuel Injectors Pose Fire Hazard
NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000
Units Affected: 694,271
Models: 20212024 Ford Bronco Sport, 20202022 Ford Escape
Component: Fuel System, Gasoline
Ford Motor Company has issued a sweeping recall of nearly 700,000 Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs equipped with 1.5-liter engines due to cracked fuel injectors. The defect could lead to fuel leaking inside the engine compartmentcreating a fire hazard if exposed to heat or ignition sources.
While a final repair is still in development, Ford dealers will install an interim software update to reduce the risk and monitor for injector leaks. Owners should expect to receive the first notification letter by August 18, 2025, with a second letter to follow once the permanent remedy is available.
This action expands and replaces previous recalls (22V-859, 24V187, and 25V165), and any vehicles previously serviced will still need to complete the new repair.

Jaguar Land Rover North America is recalling a limited number of its 20212024 E-Pace luxury SUVs due to a potentially dangerous issue with the passenger-side air bag.

To resolve the issue, dealers will replace the passenger air bag module at no cost to the owner. Notification letters are expected to be mailed by September 5, 2025.
