Ford says this recall will require an engine software update and a tube installation that will drain fuel from the cylinder head and away from hot surfaces. The company says people can continue driving their vehicles under this recall.

While some recalls are serious, posing potential fire risks or other dangers, others are more tame and can be done with minor repairs or software updates.
