Over the past weekend, volunteers helped spruce up Sloppy Floyd State Park in Summerville. The Friends of Sloppy Floyd State Park, who actively make improvements to the local state park, were joined by Berry College Student volunteers in replacing mulch in the children’s playground area at the park. Even campers who were visiting the park joined in on the project to get the park ready for Spring. The local chapter of Friends of Georgia State Parks works tirelessly throughout the year to make Sloppy Floyd State Park an inviting place for visitors and local residents alike.
Ford Motor Company is recalling 33,576 Escape and Bronco Sport vehicles due to a cracked fuel injector that could lead to a potential engine fire. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall, stating that the affected vehicles had previously undergone incorrect repairs under two separate recall campaigns. According to the NHTSA, the fuel injectors in the recalled vehicles may be cracked, allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment. This fuel, if it comes into contact with a hot engine component or exhaust, could ignite and cause a fire. The recall encompasses certain 2020-2022 Ford Escape models and 2021-2023 Bronco Sport models. To address the issue, Ford dealers will update the powertrain control module (PCM) software free of charge. This update is designed to detect a cracked fuel injector and, in the event of a leak, will trigger a warning message to the driver and reduce engine power to minimize the risk of fire. Ford will notify owners of the affected vehicles by mail after April 24th. Owners with questions or concerns can contact Ford directly at 866-436-7332, referencing Ford’s internal recall number 25S21.
