2016 FORD ESCAPE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Ford Escape has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a shifter cable bushing that can degrade or fall off, leaving the transmission unable to shift into the intended gear and potentially causing the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. The driver's knee airbag is also affected: certain modules were built without the gas material needed to inflate, meaning the airbag will not deploy in a crash and the driver's knees have less protection. There is also a door latch concern where an internal component can break, causing a door to appear closed while remaining unlatched and potentially swinging open while driving.
