Ford Motor Company
NHTSA Campaign: 22V413000 SAFETY RECALL
2.9M Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Jun 10, 2022
Safety Issue:

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Escape, 2013-2018 C-Max, 2013-2016 Fusion, 2013-2021 Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Edge vehicles. The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.

Potential Risk:
A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.
FREE Recall Solution:
Dealers will replace the under hood shift bushing and add a protective cap over the shift cable bushing, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters, informing owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 1, 2022. Remedy parts are expected to be available in 4th Quarter 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed October 27, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S43.

18K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Aug 24, 2016
Safety Issue:

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2017 Ford Escape Titanium and SE vehicles manufactured October 5, 2015, to May 12, 2016. The settings for the closing-force of the power-operated windows may allow the windows to close on an object such as a body part and injure it before the windows auto-reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."

Potential Risk:
If a window closes on a body part, it can increase the risk of injury.
FREE Recall Solution:
Ford has notified owners, and dealers will update the power window operating system software, free of charge. The recall began on September 6, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16C12.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

I have 2.0L Ecoboost engine. I received a code indicating that cylinder 4 was misfiring. I changed the plugs and coils. Misfire code is still there. Upon researching issue I noticed that the coolant levels were low and found that the coolant was leaking into cylinder 4. Upon turning over the vehicle white smoke came out of the tailpipe, showing that there was coolant getting into the engine. This is an indication that the head gasket needs to be replaced. Ford issued a recall with the 1.5L ecoboost engines due to a faulty design on the engine. The design failure is due to slits being drilled in between the cylinders in order for the coolant to keep the temperature down while the engines are running. These vehicles would stall on the hwy/interstate putting those in the vehicle and other drivers at risk. This is a known issue and Ford needs to recall these engines.
