The NHTSA said that if an engine failure occurs, significant quantities of engine oil or fuel vapor may be released into the under hood area and may migrate to and accumulate near ignition sources, resulting in a potential under-hood fire, localized melting of components, or smoke.

 

The agency said that as of July 9, there are 13 reports of under hood fires in North America resulting from engine block breaches on Explorer PIU vehicles built with 3.3L engines made before June 2, 2022. There are no reports of fire resulting from engine block breaches on non-police vehicles.

 

Ford isn't aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition, the report said. The automaker will be mailing a letter to vehicle owners advising them that the investigation is ongoing and that they will be contacted when further information is available.

 

Ford will also advise customers in the letter to safely park and shut off the engine as soon as possible when they hear unexpected engine noises, or after experiencing an unexpected torque reduction, or see smoke from the engine compartment.
