CNN —Ford is recalling more than 125,000 Escape SUVs, Maverick pickups and Lincoln Corsair luxury SUVs because their engines could leak fluids and catch fire.
There have been a total of 28 fires apparently linked to this issue, according to Ford, including five since last year’s recall.
Owners with questions can contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 or Ford customer service at 866-436-7332.
This recall is unrelated to another recently announced recall of Lincoln MKC SUVs, essentially an earlier version of the Corsair, that could catch fire while parked.
Ford also recently had to recall the Bronco off-road SUV because NHTSA found the seatbelts too difficult to reach.
