Ford Motor Company is recalling 244,530 Escape SUVs as the result of a braking system defect which
could cause brake fluid to leak onto the antilock brake system (ABS) module
wiring harness connector, thus leading to corrosion. This could subsequently cause
melting, smoke, or fire.
Recalled Vehicles
The recalled vehicles include model year 2001 and 2002 Ford
Escapes that are equipped with a brake master cylinder reservoir cap that may
leak brake fluid. They were manufactured from October 22, 1999 through July 19,
2002.
Remedy
Ford is expecting to start notifying owners of the affected
vehicles at the start of the week of January 23, 2012. Dealers will replace the
brake master cylinder reservoir cap and modify
the ABS electrical system, though this remedy may not be available by the
aforementioned week due to a parts delay, in which case owners will be
instructed to park their vehicles outside until the parts are available. If owners
would like more information, they may call Ford at (866) 436-7332, under the
recall campaign number 07V-156.
