A total of 27,933 units are affected by the recall, which only affects Ford Edge models equipped with the American automaker’s 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. According to the recall notice, affected vehicles may have a fuel line pulse damper metal housing that wasn’t installed properly. The housing can potentially crack, resulting in a leakage of odor or fuel, potentially causing a fire.
