STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
What Happened
The metal frame of your Escape's suspension system has a spot where water can get in and cause rust. This can weaken the structure and lead to a problem with the control arm.
Risk if Unfixed
If the control arm breaks, you could lose control of your steering, making it hard to steer the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will install a special reinforcement to prevent rust and damage to the control arm. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
