## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2013\-2014 Escape vehicles manufactured October 5, 2011, to April 1, 2013, and equipped with 2.0 liter engines and Focus ST vehicles manufactured February 14, 2012, to October 14, 2013, and equipped with 2.0 liter engines.  Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure \(MAP\) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module \(PCM\).


## What can happen

The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, free of charge.  The recall began in October 2014.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-800\-392\-3673.  Ford's number for this recall is 14S17.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
