If you drive a 2013 Ford Escape or Fusion, you may want to call your dealership

 
The automaker is recalling about 90,000 vehicles because of a fire hazard.
 
Ford says it has received reports of overheating and fires in models with the one-point-six liter Ecoboost engine.  
 
The problem doesn't affect other model years, or Escapes and Fusions with different engines.  
 
Ford says it's working on a way to fix the problem.  
 
In the meantime, it is asking owners to contact a dealer as soon as possible to arrange for a loaner vehicle at no charge.
