Ford has issued three recalls of more than 350,000 vehicles in North America, including nearly 3,000 in Canada and 39,000 in the U.S. due to a risk the engines could catch fire.
Transport Canada said in a recall notice Thursday that some 2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigators could catch fire in the engine compartment, even while parked with the ignition off.
Of the 16 fires, 12 happened while the SUV engines were turned off, Ford said in a prepared statement. The company says it has no reports of fires extending to any buildings.Ford said it's not instructing owners to stop driving the SUVs, although those who might not be able to follow the park outdoors instructions should contact their dealer or the company.
Ford began investigating fire reports on March 24. It said the fires appear to be limited to SUVs built from Dec. 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021. The company said it has no fire reports from vehicles built before or after those dates.
