Thousands of Ford F-150 Trucks Recalled in Canada over Defect that Could Cause a Fuel Leak
The recall follows a fuel injector defect that can crack and leak, and Ford has issued 22 recalls since June 25, officials said.
Ford issued a recall for thousands of vehicles in Canada citing fuel injector cracks in Bronco Sport SUVs and Escape crossovers that pose fire risks. Remedies for the defect can take 11 months.
The Blue Oval has issued 75 recalls for 14,037,387 vehicles this year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, following a record-breaking 2025 with 153 recalls impacting 12,958,128 vehicles.
Industry-Wide data shows 79% of recalls have remedies within two months, but Ford's rate stands at just 53%, with significant remedy delays averaging 198 days across 22 recalls issued this year.
Dealers face challenges selling vehicles with open recalls, while owners wait months for fixes, often driving vehicles with collision or fire risks. Some issues use over-the-air updates; others require service visits.
Power recently ranked Ford as the number one mainstream brand for initial quality, signaling better things ahead. Supply chain constraints and parts rollout issues remain obstacles as the company addresses its diverse recall backlog.
