Recall date October 19, 2006
Models affected
  • 2006 Ford Escape

Details

On certain Escape Hybrid vehicles, the intermediate shaft used in the front wheel driveline may not have received adequate heat treat process during manufacturing.

As a result, the intermediate shaft may fracture while the vehicle is being driven.

If a fracture occurs the powertrain will lose the ability to transmit torque to the drive wheels and the transmission will not hold the vehicle stationary when placed in the PARK position.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the intermediate shaft.
