2022 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator recalled over fire risk:
Last month, Ford discovered an issue with connectors for the fuel filler pipe vapor line connector on 2022-model-year Mustangs. The vapor line connects to the main filler tube that runs from the gas tank to the fuel filler opening, the vapor line there to vent tank gases. The problem was a supplier-built connector that didn't meet the necessary engineering specs. Ford fixed all the Mustangs before they made their way to dealers.
The matter with the SUVs is that the actual fuel filler tube can detach in a crash or even day-to-day operation. If this happens, a fuel leak can result, which might cause a fire. Ford said that"depending on the extent of the vapor leak," the check engine light might appear on the dash, throwing trouble codes P0456, P0442, P0455, or P04F0. The company isn't aware of any accidents or injuries due to the situation.
To check on whether your Explorer or Aviator is affected, you can go to the NHTSA recall site and enter your Explorer's or Aviator's VIN. The fix is a trip to the dealer to have a redundant locking clip installed, free of charge. Dealers have already been notified. Ford will begin informing customers on April 4.
