2015 FORD ESCAPE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 Ford Escape has 6 recalls, the most serious being a shift cable defect where a degraded or detached bushing can cause the transmission to be in a different gear than the shifter indicates, allowing the vehicle to roll unexpectedly. Note that one version of this defect only affects Escapes with the 2.0L engine. On the seating side, bolts used to install certain seats, seatbacks, and seatbelt anchors can fracture, which may prevent those components from holding occupants properly in a crash. Door latches are also affected: an internal component can break and leave a door appearing closed when it is not, allowing it to swing open while driving. There is also an electrical concern where the instrument cluster can go dark, leaving the driver without warnings for low tire pressure or a disabled airbag.
