WASHINGTON—Ford Motor Co. said on Friday it is issuing a new recall for 100,000 hybrid vehicles over fire risks, and expanding an earlier recall after a series of reported fires.
The new recall covers certain 2020 through 2022 model-year Ford Escape, Maverick, and Lincoln Corsair vehicles with 2.5-liter Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid engines. Ford said in the event of an engine failure, significant quantities of engine oil and fuel vapor may be released that could accumulate near ignition sources, resulting in a potential under-hood fire.
