"Ford Recalls 43,000 SUVs for Gas Leaks and Fire Risk"

Ford is recalling nearly 43,000 Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs due to fuel leaks from the fuel injectors that can cause fires, but the recall remedy does not include repairing the fuel leaks. Instead, dealers will install a tube to direct gasoline away from hot surfaces and update engine control software. The company has reports of fires and warranty replacements of fuel injectors but no crashes or injuries. Critics, including the Center for Auto Safety, argue that the recall remedy is insufficient and that NHTSA should do more to ensure that recalls fix the root causes of vehicle problems.
