Ford is also issuing a safety recall for select 2020 Ford Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator vehicles.

In some affected vehicles, the convolute protective sleeve on the liquid fuel line is not long enough. This may allow for potential hard contact with the convolute-protected vapor fuel line, Ford said. Over time, with vibration and engine roll, hard contact between the two fuel lines could cause the convolute on the vapor fuel line to rub through the plastic liquid fuel line. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Ford is not aware of any reports of accident, injury or fire related to this condition, the company said.

The recall affects 3,858 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, 35 in Canada, and seven in Mexico.

Affected vehicles were built at the Chicago Assembly Plant:

Ford Explorer vehicles built Jan. 18-July 17, 2019
Lincoln Aviator vehicles built Jan. 15-July 17, 2019
Dealers will inspect vehicles for a full-length yellow-colored protective convolute on the liquid fuel line. If the convolute does not cover the full length of the liquid fuel line, dealers will remove the existing convolute, replace it with one that has the correct length and secure it with a tie strap. The Ford reference number for this recall is 19S49.
