The oil leak recall includes 2020 through 2022 Ford Escape SUV and the 2021 and 2022 Bronco Sport SUV with 1.5-liter engines. A housing can crack and oil can leak onto engine parts, which can create a fire hazard.

Dealers will replace the housing if needed. Owners will be notified starting April 18.

The trailer braking recall includes F-150 pickups from 2021 and 2022, as well as 2022 F-250, 350, 450, and 550. Also covered are the 2022 Maverick pickup, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator SUVs.

A software error can stop trailers from braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
