Ford says the problem was isolated to a manufacturing sequence for hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. During this time, a breach in the engine block or oil pan occurred.The automaker says it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this situation. Owners will be notified in early August. With the exception of the Maverick, which is a 2022 model, the recall affects the 2020 through 2022 model years.
