(Reuters) – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday it was opening an investigation into the recall of 42,652 Ford SUVs over concerns of a fuel leak that could lead to fire hazards.

The NHTSA’s recall query, or a probe opened by safety regulators when a remedy to solve an issue appears inadequate, covers the 2022 and 2023 models of Ford Bronco Sport and the 2022 model of Ford Escape.

The agency’s concerns centered around a potential fuel leak due to a cracked fuel injector in certain vehicles.

Ford in March recalled those models with 1.5-liter engines to address the concerns and issued an engine control software update along with the installation of a drain tube to remedy the issue.

However, the NHTSA said the earlier recall did not include the replacement of the cracked fuel injector.
