MAY
2010 --
Ford is
recalling certain model
year 2010 Fusion, Milan,
and Escape vehicles
manufactured from
February 27, through
March 26, 2010. The park
rod guide retention pin
may not have been
properly installed which
fails to conform to the
requirement of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 114, "Theft
Protection and Rollaway
Prevention". A vehicle
parked without an
engaged park pawl and
without an applied
parking brake may have
unintended movement
which may cause a crash.
Ford will notify owners
and dealers will repair
the vehicles free of
charge. The safety
recall began on May 28,
2010. Ford's
recall campaign number
is 10C12. 10V-222

Ford Recalls Escape SUVs
WASHINGTON (AP) --
April, 10, 2007 --
Ford Motor Co. said
Tuesday it was
recalling more than
500,000 Ford Escape
sport utility
vehicles after
receiving reports of
engine fires linked
to corrosion on
antilock brake
connectors.
Ford said the recall
involved 444,880
Escapes from the
2001-2004 model
years in the United
States, and about
75,000 Escapes in
Canada, Mexico and
Europe. The recall
does not affect
hybrid versions of
the SUV, the
automaker said.
Dearborn,
Mich.-based Ford
said there have been
about 50 engine
fires connected to
the problems, which
had been under
investigation by the
National Highway
Traffic Safety
Administration.
"There have been no
reports of accidents
or injuries. We have
identified a repair,
and owners of
affected vehicles
will be notified
soon," said Ford
spokeswoman Kristen
Kinley.
The company said the
recall would address
missing or
incorrectly
installed seals on
the wiring harness
of the antilock
brake connector.
Water and
contaminants such as
brake fluid or road
salt could enter the
connector and cause
corrosion. That
could lead to the
ABS warning
indicator lighting
up, an open fuse or
in some cases
smoking, melting or
burning of the
electrical ABS
connector.
