Ford has issued a recall for 44,652 Broncos and Escapes due to a risk of engine fires caused by fuel leaks, as reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This recall coincides with the death of O.J. Simpson, famously associated with a Ford Bronco during his 1994 police chase. The NHTSA has opened an investigation into the recall of 42,652 Ford SUVs, with concerns that Ford's proposed remedy may not effectively address the fuel leak issue. The investigation focuses on potential faulty fuel injectors that could cause some Broncos and Escapes to catch fire.
