July 8, 2022 – The 2020-2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator are under recall for a fire risk and, because the SUVs could go up in flames even while parked with the engine off, it was strongly recommended that owners park those vehicles outside, away from garages or structures, until a fix could be performed.
Ford has found the cause and it’s a common theme of 2021 that continues into the middle of 2022: a supply chain issue. In this case, it’s not the lack of a part but because a part was made by a different manufacturer to alleviate the supply issues.
On the heels of that fix for the Expedition and Navigator comes word of potential fires in 2020-2022 Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair, and 2022 Ford Maverick models equipped with the 2.5-liter I-4 hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains.
