Ford's Recall Nightmare Spills Into 2026 as the Company Recalls 116,672 Cars That May Catch Fire
A subset of Ford and Lincoln models equipped with the brand's 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine are at risk for the problem.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Focus, 2013-2019 Escape, and 2015-2016 MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine. The engine block heater may crack and develop a coolant leak, causing it to short circuit when the block heater is plugged in.
Ford is recalling roughly 119,000 vehicles because their engine block heaters have a defect that increases the risk of fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says.
