The 2007 Ford Escape has two recalls, one affecting hybrid models where the hybrid system's coolant pump can fail, causing the electronics to overheat and shut down the powertrain, which can stall the vehicle.
The second recall applies only to vehicles that had their CD4E automatic transmission replaced with a remanufactured unit: the shift lever can disengage from the transmission, leaving the driver unable to change gears and causing the gear indicator to show the wrong position.
