Hyundai recall for rearview camera obstruction

Ford recall on Broncos, Escapes over fuel leak

Federal auto regulators have announced a probe into a Ford recall of nearly 42,652 automobiles following an error with cracked fuel injectors they say can cause gas leaks and ignite engine fires.

In a summary report release on Thursday, the NHTSA wrote it was opening an investigation into a recall of Ford Bronco and Escape vehicles.

According to the federalinvestigation announcement, owners can take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have a drain tube installed in the vehicle at no cost.

The remedy also includes a free engine control software update to detect a pressure drop in the fuel injection system, the federal regulator reported.
