Transport Canada noted that the models’ powered with 1.5-liter Ecoboost engines are affected by the recall.

The notice explained that on certain vehicles, an injector may crack that could lead to fuel leaking in the engine compartment, which can create a risk of fire.

Further, the recall advisory mentioned that as part of the corrective actions, the Blue Oval’s arm there will notify owners by mail.

“As an interim repair, a dealer will update the engine control software to detect fuel injector leaks. Owners that have already received this software update will be informed that the interim repair is not required,” the advisory noted.

“Once the final repair is available, you will need to return to a dealership. The final corrective actions for this recall are under development,” it added.
