Ford Bronco recall expands globally after new engine fire reports surface
- A total of 24,000 Ford Broncos are now included in the recall, covering 2021-2023 models, due to a risk of engine compartment fires caused by a faulty fuel injector.
- The flaw may cause fuel to leak onto hot engine parts, with Ford reporting 15 fires and four minor injuries related to the issue; owners are advised to park outdoors and away from structures.
- Dealers will replace the fuel injectors and install a software update for free, with notifications starting next month; drop-offs require no upfront cost.
- This recall expands an earlier 2022 action that addressed a similar problem, but now includes more vehicle identification numbers worldwide for complete safety coverage.
- Bronco fans are concerned about resale value, but Ford insists the quick fix is precautionary to prevent major damage, with parts available by early next year.
