2018-2022 Ford Safety Recall: Unfixed Engines Still Risking Fires
A new viral rumor claims Ford has been forced to halt sales on all 1.5 million vehicles affected by the 2018-2022 Ford safety recall, but that is false. The recall, which addresses a potential engine fire risk from a blocked oil separator, was officially issued in May 2022, and Ford continues to provide free repairs. Social media posts circulating this week exaggerate the timeline, incorrectly stating that dealerships are refusing fixes. Reality check: Ford has issued multiple updates, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirms that parts and remedies are available for most affected models. Stop the scare—your car is not at immediate risk if you schedule the repair.
