Ford says it still doesn’t have a complete understanding of what the problem is with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost, though it believes that coolant fluids may leak out if the engine overheats. They may, in turn, catch fire if they come into contact with hot exhaust components.
Models that could be affected include the European Focus and Mondeo sedans, the Galaxy minivan and the Kuga, the nameplate used for the Escape outside the U.S. Mondeo is the European name for the Fusion.
