Ford is recalling about 27,000 Edge crossovers from the 2012-2013 model years because of a fire risk related to damper in the fuel line.
The recall only affects vehicles powered by the 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine.
The company said the affected vehicles may have a fuel line pulse damper metal housing that wasn’t installed properly. The housing could crack, resulting in a leakage of odor or fuel, which could cause a fire.
Ford dealers will replace the fuel line free of charge when the recall begins next month.
