"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 injectors that can crack, causing gasoline to leak onto hot engine surfaces and potentially start fires. The recall remedy includes installing a tube to direct gasoline away from hot areas and updating engine control software to detect pressure drops and reduce engine power. The company has reports of under-hood fires and warranty replacements of fuel injectors, but no crashes or injuries. Critics argue that the recall is a temporary fix and that NHTSA should do more to ensure that recalls address the root causes of vehicle problems.
