What this recall means for you
Some 2013 Ford Escape and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles may have insufficiently compressed splices in the engine wiring harness connecting to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. This can send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module, which may cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall.
An unexpected loss of power or hesitation increases the risk of a crash. If your vehicle is affected, Ford will notify you, and dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new ones free of charge.
You can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 for more information. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls at an authorized Ford dealer or through the NHTSA website.
