Around 85,000 Explorers with the Police Interceptor package are being recalled because an engine failure could cause oil and fuel to leak into the engine compartment and catch fire
Ford is recalling 85,238 Explorers fitted with the Police Interceptor Utility package. The 2020-2022 SUVs fitted with V6 gas and hybrid engines are at risk of catching fire if the engine fails. Consumer versions of the Explorer aren’t being recalled because they don’t tend to receive the same abuse. Ford is recalling more than 85,000 police-spec Explorers because hot pursuits might get too hot and turn into full-blown engine fires.
Ford first began investigating the problem in July 2023 after receiving three reports of Explorer Interceptors suffering under-hood fires. Fast forward a year and the log now included 13 instances of engine bay fires, each linked to an “engine block breach” in which a connecting rod made a speedy exit through the side of the crankcase, having fractured under load.
