In less than two months the 2013 Escape has seen three recalls already. Nevertheless, the vehicle is still selling at just about expected rates, which is expected considering Ford has been handling the recalls very efficiently and addressing some of the problems before any customers even have time to file a complaint.
Ford is recalling 7,600 new Escapes to fix coolant leaks that can cause engines to overheat or catch fire.
The recall affects 2013 models with 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines.
Plugs in the engine may not have been installed properly and can fall out while the motor is running. Coolant can leak and cause engines to overheat.
Dealers have repair parts available and owners should make service appointments as soon as possible, said Ford spokeswoman Marcey Zwiebel. Ford will fix the problem for free. Read More
