Ford, Lincoln Vehicles Recalled for Fuel Leak, Fire Risk
Yet again, Ford’s all-new 2013 Escape is the subject of a recall campaign because of a flaw that could lead to a fire.
It isn’t alone, though. Along with the Escape, Ford is also recalling certain 2012 Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans, all for having a marginally sealed seam in their fuel tanks manufactured between July 19, 2012 and March 15, 2012. In total, there are 3,037 units potentially affected by the recall.
