If you have a Ford or Lincoln SUV, you might want to leave it outside.
The automaker recalled 39,000 Ford and Lincoln SUVs following 16 reports of engine fires, according to a statement from Ford Motor Company.
The recall affects some Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles built between December 1, 2020 and April 30, 2021. One injury resulted from reports of fires, but no accidents occurred.
According to Ford, 14 of the 16 vehicles affected by the fires were from rental car companies.
Ford advises owners of these vehicles to keep them outside and away from buildings until a fix to the problem is available.
The company is still working to determine the cause of the fires and offer a solution.
This isn’t the automaker’s first series of recalls this year.
Last month, Ford recalled more than 650,000 vehicles for defective windshield wipers.
