What is being recalled
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM).
Why it is dangerous
The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, free of charge. The recall began on January 7, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 14S17-S1.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 15V-813 when calling a dealer.
