Long Island woman says her Bronco Sport burst into flames over recall issue. Then Ford reportedly told her ‘It wasn’t their problem’

A Long Island woman says she narrowly escaped injury after her 2022 Ford Bronco Sport burst into flames while she backed into her driveway. Now she claims the incident happened despite an active Ford safety recall tied to a potential fuel injector defect that can increase the risk of an underhood fire, which she said she addressed.

In June 2026, TikTok creator Kp (@Katieee_Lin) shared a video of the burned SUV, which has drawn widespread attention online. In the video, Kp said the fire started without warning. “A couple weeks ago, my Bronco Sport 2022 Big Bend burst into flames as I was backing into my driveway,” she said. She shifted the car into reverse, tried to back up, saw the smoke in the car, and got out, she said.
