Issue
Hazard description
Issue: On certain Escape Hybrid (HEV) models, the engine crankshaft may not have been manufactured correctly. As a result, the connecting rod bearings may wear and cause a knocking noise. If you continue to drive the vehicle with this symptom, the engine could fail and/or a fire could occur. An engine failure can cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. An engine failure could also create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the crankshaft. The engine will be replaced, if necessary.
