What This Recall Means

Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES

What Happened
Your vehicle's brake system relies on precise pedal placement. In some 2013 Escape models, carpet padding can shift and push the center console trim panel out, altering the position of the brake pedal. This reduces clearance between the pedal and the accelerator pedal, making it harder to shift your foot between the two pedals safely.
Risk if Unfixed
If your foot contacts the side of the brake pedal while shifting from the accelerator, you'll have longer stopping distances. This increases the risk of a crash, especially in emergency situations.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will remove the carpet padding and replace the left-side console trim panel with a new one, all at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
