{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2015438","date":"2015-09-29","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Powertrain","summary":"A safety defect may exist in vehicles in which remanufactured automatic transmissions were installed as service replacement parts. The shift lever bolt may not have been torqued to the proper torque specification.  If the improperly torqued shift level bolt loosens and backs out, the shift lever may disengage from the transmission without warning, and the transmission may not respond to the shifter selection movement by the operator.  This could result in the loss of transmission gear selection, and possible unintended vehicle movement, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.  Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the shift lever assembly and/or the shift level bolt torqued to the proper specification.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"15S28","part_number":null,"units":11,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Groupe motopropulseur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Un défaut de sécurité pourrait être présent dans les véhicules dans lesquels on a installé une boîte de vitesses automatique remise à neuf en tant que pièce de rechange de service. Le boulon du sélecteur de vitesse pourrait avoir été mal serré. Si ce boulon mal serré se desserre et tombe, le sélecteur de vitesse pourrait se détacher de la boîte de vitesses sans avertissement et les déplacements du sélecteur de vitesse effectués par le conducteur pourraient ne plus avoir d'incidence sur la boîte de vitesses. Cela pourrait causer la perte de la fonction de changement de rapport et un mouvement imprévu du véhicule, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter le sélecteur de vitesse et/ou vérifier si le boulon du sélecteur a été bien serré, ainsi que remplacer ces éléments au besoin."},"vehicles":[{"year":2001,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2001_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2002,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2002_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2003,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2003_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2004,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2004_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2005,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2005_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2006,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2006_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2007,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2007_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2008,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2008_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2015438"}
