## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2021 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles.  An engine compartment fire may occur while driving or parked, even with the ignition in the "Off" position.


## What can happen

A vehicle fire increases the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside and away from structures and other vehicles, until the remedy is performed.  Dealers will inspect and replace the battery junction box, as necessary, and remove a ground wire.  On models equipped with standard\-duty radiator fan motors, dealers will also install an auxiliary electrical box with a wire jumper.  Repairs will be performed free of charge.  Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed May 25, 2022.  Owners will receive a second letter once the remedy is available.  Currently the remedy is available for vehicles equipped with heavy\-duty radiator fan motors, and those letters were mailed July 21, 2022.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 22S36.
