Ford Kuga EV drivers will not be compensated after fire risk warning

Ford advised owners of the Kuga models in question to not plug in their vehicles to charge the battery, and instead to use the ‘Auto EV’ mode until the issue is addressed.

Car manufacturer Ford has informed owners of a hybrid vehicle, under recall for potential battery issues which could trigger a fire, that no compensation will be considered until a fix becomes available.

The company has written to owners of newer Ford Kuga plug-in hybrids to tell them that a fix is planned for the issue affecting the vehicles sometime in the next three months.
