ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Manufacturer
Ford Motor Company
What Happened
The wiring in your Escape or Focus ST is a complex network that sends signals to your engine. In some cases, the connections between the wiring and the MAP sensor can become loose, causing incorrect signals.
Risk if Unfixed
If the connections fail, your vehicle could hesitate or stall while driving, making it harder to control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will fix the issue by replacing the faulty connections with new ones, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
