Recalls

Issue: On certain Escape Hybrid (HEV) models, the engine crankshaft may not have been manufactured correctly.

As a result, the connecting rod bearings may wear and cause a knocking noise.

If you continue to drive the vehicle with this symptom, the engine could fail and/or a fire could occur.

An engine failure can cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart.

Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.

An engine failure could also create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the crankshaft.

The engine will be replaced, if necessary.
