Ford in the US is recalling some 2013 Explorers, as well as some 2012 Taurus and Lincoln MKS models, because of concerns that leaks in the fuel tank may pose a fire risk.

Only around 3,037 cars and SUVs are involved, manufactured between 19 July, 2011 and 15 March, 2012. All were made at the company’s Chicago plant.
