As Thanksgiving approaches, many Georgia households are bracing for a holiday meal that, while offering some relief on the centerpiece, continues to strain their budgets. Despite a welcome dip in wholesale turkey prices, the overall cost of putting together a traditional feast remains a significant balancing act for families across the state, squeezed by persistent inflation on many other grocery staples.

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.
