2019 FORD ESCAPE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Ford Escape has two recalls, both affecting the transmission: one can cause a fluid leak that leads to complete loss of transmission function, and another can cause the vehicle to move in an unintended direction. The first involves the start/stop accumulator, where missing or loose bolts can allow transmission fluid to leak out and eventually leave the transmission unable to engage at all. The second affects the shifter cable, where a bushing that connects the cable to the transmission can degrade or fall off entirely, making it impossible to reliably select the intended gear and potentially causing the car to roll or move in a direction the driver did not choose.
