## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2024\-2025 Lincoln Nautilus, 2023\-2025 Escape, 2023 Lincoln Corsair, 2025 Lincoln Corsair, Maverick, and Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with a 1.5L or 2.0L MPC engine and an engine block heater. The engine block heater may overheat when the vehicle is parked with the block heater plugged in.


## What can happen

An overheated engine block heater can increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Owners will also have a alternative option to replace engine block heater element with a threaded blanking plug coupled, and remove the block heater electrical cord.
