Ford Explorer: Fuel System

Affects Ford Explorer · 2020 — about 35 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the protective cover on the engine fuel line may not be long enough. As a result, the fuel line could rub against another fuel line. This could cause damage and result in a fuel leak. Safety Risk: A fuel leak in the engine compartment could result in a fire. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to inspect the protective cover on the fuel line. If the fuel line is not fully covered, the dealer will install and secure a new, longer cover.
