Ford Orders Recall , Over Potential SUV Gas Leak.
ABC reports that Ford has ordered
a recall for almost 43,000 small SUVs
due to a potential risk of fire. .
The recall impacts some Bronco
Sport SUVs from 2022 and 2023,
as well as 2022's Escape SUVs. .
According to Ford, gasoline can leak from
fuel injectors near or onto hot engine surfaces,
which increases the risk of starting fires.
The recall does not reportedly include repairing
any potential fuel leak, which the company
claims only impacts about 1% of their SUVs.
ABC reports that Michael Brooks, executive director
of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety,
has called Ford's decision a "Band-aid type recall.".
Brooks claims that even a 1% failure
rate is high and places drivers
at potential risk for a crash.
The NHTSA said that it lacks legal
authority to pre-approve recall fixes. .
The agency added that it would, "closely track their performance using field data.".
However, Brooks suggests that Congress
needs to change laws so that the NHTSA can , "require something more than the rubber
stamp that NHTSA is currently deploying.β.
That is a post-remedy inquiry
that won't make the fixes better,
and further stretches out the process
and leaves consumers in limbo. , Michael Brooks, executive director of the

Tips for Dealing With, Spring Allergies.
Allergies can
lead to more
than itchy eyes
and a runny nose.
They can also trigger other significant health issues, such as an asthma attack.
These five strategies will help to mitigate your allergies so that you can enjoy the great outdoors.
1, Schedule your run for
sometime other than morning.
Your highest pollen counts are typically in the morning when the sun starts coming up, Dr. Mark Corbett, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, via Yahoo.
2, Be mindful of the weather.
Asthmatics especially can have severe reactions if they go out after a thunderstorm, Dr. Mark Corbett, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, via Yahoo.
3, But a light, spring shower is a
great time do your workout.
Rainfall pushes the pollen down. So working out during a light rainfall might be one of the best times to be outdoors when you have allergies, Melanie Carver, Asthma and Allergy Foundation
of America, via Yahoo.
4, Make sure to cover
both your hair and eyes.
This helps to reduce the amount of pollen
that gets into your eyes and hair. .
5, Begin your allergy
medication regimen early.
You want to start your medications a couple of weeks before the spring season and not wait until you start getting all congested and start having symptoms, because it wonβt work as well, Dr. Mark Corbett, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, via Yahoo
