Ford has recalled around 100,000 hybrid vehicles over a fire risk, and also expanded another recall that it announced in May.
The affected automobiles include some Corsair and Escape SUVs of model years 2020 to 2022, and a number of Maverick compact pickups from the same period. All have 2.5-liter hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric engines.
Ford said it has so far received 23 reports from around the world of incidents where the engine failure caused a fire. No injuries or deaths have been reported in connection with the issue. The American auto giant will start notifying affected owners on August 8, though read on for details on how to find out right now if your Ford vehicle is subject to a recall.
Ford confirmed it has already resolved the issue at the manufacturing stage, so new vehicles coming off the production line no longer have the problem.
