## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2014 Escape, 2014\-2015 Fiesta ST, 2013\-2014 Fusion and 2013\-2015 Transit Connect vehicles equipped with 1.6L GTDI engines.  If the vehicle is started and driven with an insufficient level of coolant within the engine cooling system, the engine cylinder head may overheat, crack and leak oil.


## What can happen

If the cylinder head cracks and leaks oil, the oil may contact a hot engine or exhaust component, increasing the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install a coolant level sensor and the supporting hardware and software, free of charge.   Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed April 21, 2017.  The recall began on January 5, 2018.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 17S09.


## 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.
