发帖数: 21396 | 1 DETROIT -- Ford Motor Co. has issued its 11th recall on the 2013 Escape
crossover, this time because a wiring problem could cause the engine to
hesitate or stall.
The recall covers 159,395 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the 2013 and
2014 model years with turbocharged 2.0-liter engines in North America. Ford
said the engine wiring harnesses may have “splices that were insufficiently
compressed during the supplier manufacturing process,” which can affect
engine performance by sending incorrect signals to the powertrain control
module.
The defect could result in problems including stalling, reduced engine power
, hesitation or illumination of the engine-malfunction indicator light, Ford
said. No injuries or crashes are linked to the problem. Dealers are being
instructed to replace the wiring splices.
Flaws that other recalls on the Escape have addressed include fluid leaks
that could cause an engine fire, doors that can open while the vehicle is
moving and rollover airbags that may not deploy quickly enough.
Strong U.S. sales
The Escape has been among the most recalled vehicles in the country since it
was redesigned in 2013, though the recalls have had little, if any,
noticeable effect on U.S. sales. It is the second most-popular crossover,
only slightly behind the Honda CR-V, and posted a 19 percent gain in July.
The vehicle was Ford's third-best selling vehicle in the U.S. during the
first seven months with sales of 179,448 units, up less than a percentage
point from the same period last year.
A Ford spokeswoman said no single Escape is affected by all 11 recalls.
Today’s recall covers 17,354 Focus STs built from February 2012 through
October 2013 and 142,041 Escapes built from October 2011 through April 2013.
About 133,000 of them are in the United States, 25,000 are in Canada and
fewer than 800 are in Mexico.
Other recalls
Ford also announced three smaller recalls of vehicles from the 2015 model
year, none of which are attributed to any crashes or injuries:
• 1,319 Transit cargo vans to fix a potential brake-fluid leak. The
problem could increase the vehicle’s stopping distance.
• 610 Transits for windowless sliding doors that may have been
assembled without an epoxy reinforcement. That could increase the chances of
the doors coming unlatched during a side-impact crash, increasing the risk
of injury to occupants.
• 1,274 Lincoln MKC crossovers with windshields that may not conform
to federal safety standards. Ford said the supplier’s manufacturing process
may have allowed air to be trapped between the layers of glass, which could
lead to bubbles that affect driver visibility. | t*******y

而且丰田耍流氓，几次recall合在一起算一次，一次recall解决多个problems
escape基本上就是一次recall解决一个问题
而且从总数量上来看，escape也比rav4 少 |
