A Ford Recall 2013 announcement was recently made, as 465,000 Ford vehicles around the world are at risk of fire after finding a defect in fuel lines. Last year, Ford recalled Escape SUVs because of a flaw in the fuel lines that could cause fire.

On June 3, 2013, the giant car company instated a Ford recall including 2013 models such as the Flex, Ford Fusion, Explorer, Interceptor Sedan, Interceptor Utility and Taurus.

A Ford representative shared that the company has received information from the customers about smelling gas or seeing a leak on the ground. As of March 31, Ford already received over 600 complaints about the fuel leak, but there were no reports of fires or accidents caused by the leak. Those affected by the recall will get a replacement of the fuel delivery module.

In July of last year, Ford also made a recall affecting 11,500 new 2013 Escape SUV's, also because of a defect in the fuel line that could cause a fire or an explosion. Three fires were reportedly attributed to the fuel line defect from the Escape SUVs. Two fire reports happened at the factory while the other one took place to a 2013 Escape owned by a buyer in Canada. The 2012 Ford recall involved the Escape SUVs that are equipped with 1.6 liter turbocharged engines, the company's mid-level offering.

During the July 2012 recall, the auto company told the owners to stop driving their Escape SUVs until the problem was resolved. But so far, there has been no similar advice given for the vehicles affected by this year's Ford Recall.

Owners of vehicles affected by Ford recall 2013 will receive a letter in July telling them about the recall, and then a second letter will be mailed in September when the replacement parts become available.

Almost 390,000 of the affected Ford vehicles are in the US, 23,000 in Canada, 7,600 in Mexico and the others are in the remaining parts of the world.
