I have a Ford Kuga PHEV on order. Should I cancel due to the fire recall?
Would you please give me your view about the news that Ford has suspended sales of this model due to fires affecting the High Voltage battery? I have one on order and I'm a little uneasy to hear of these events.

It's understandable that you're feeling a little uneasy, but it's only affected a very small number of cars. Ford's identified the issue early and announced a fix. More here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/owning-1/2020-08/ford-is...v
