ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
What Happened
The cylinder head cup plug in your 2013 Escape's 1.6L engine is a small plug that keeps engine coolant from leaking out. But in some cases, this plug can come loose and spill coolant all over the engine.
Risk if Unfixed
If the coolant leaks and evaporates on the hot engine, it could catch fire, causing a serious engine compartment fire.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will seal the existing plug and add extra protection to prevent leaks, all at no cost to you. The repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
