## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2010\-2012 Ford Escape vehicles manufactured February 26, 2009, to April 29, 2012, and 2010\-2011 Mercury Mariner vehicles manufactured February 25, 2009, to December 12, 2010.  On vehicles with a 3.0L engine, the Fuel Delivery Module \(FDM\) may crack, causing a fuel leak.


## What can happen

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the FDM flange with one that has a redesigned fuel supply port, free of charge.  Remedy parts are currently unavailable.  Interim notices were mailed to owners on December 13, 2016.  Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 16S41.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
