## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2020\-2023 Escape, 2022\-2023 Maverick, and 2021\-2023 Corsair vehicles equipped with 2.5L HEV or PHEV engines.  In the event of an engine failure, engine oil and fuel vapor may be released into the engine compartment and accumulate near ignition sources such as hot engine or exhaust components, possibly resulting in an engine compartment fire.


## What can happen

An engine compartment fire increases the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Owners are advised to park and shut off the engine as quickly as possible if they hear unexpected engine noises, notice a reduction in vehicle power, or see smoke.  Dealers will replace the engine long\-block in 2023 Escape and Corsair vehicles.  For the other vehicles, dealers will update the powertrain control module software.  If a connecting rod bearing failure is detected, dealers will replace the engine long\-block. All inspections and repairs will be performed free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on June 14, 2024.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 23S27.  This recall expands and replaces recall number 22V\-484.  Vehicles previously repaired under 22V\-484 will need to have the new remedy completed.


## 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.nhtsa.gov.
