(CNN) - Ford Motor Company is voluntarily calling back nearly 90,000 2013 Ford Escapes and Ford Fusions because of a fire hazard. 

The carmaker says there have been 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, Ford is asking affected owners to contact a dealer as soon as possible to arrange for a loaner vehicle at no charge. 

This isn't the first problem Ford has had with the EcoBoost engines. Ford recalled more than six-thousand 2013 Escape crossovers in September because of a problem with the fuel line.
