As a result, a second repair is required.\n\nOn certain vehicles, a problem inside the high-voltage battery could cause a short circuit. If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the wheels and/or the high-voltage battery could overheat.\nNote: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2025-628. This recall only affects certain plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) equipped with a 2.5 L engine.\n\nSafety Risk:\nA loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A battery that overheats can create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.\n\nCorrective Actions:\nTo reduce the safety risk, Ford advises that you set the maximum charge setting of your vehicle at 80% and to only use normal EV mode until the recall repairs have been completed. Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the battery energy control module (BECM) and hybrid powertrain control module (HPCM) software. The BECM software will monitor the high-voltage battery and warn you if it detects a problem. If you see this warning, you should contact a dealership to arrange replacement of the high-voltage battery pack.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"25SC4","part_number":null,"units":22955,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Haute tension","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Problème:\nSur certains véhicules, la mise à jour logicielle effectuée dans le cadre du rappel 24S79 (numéro de rappel 2024-781 de Transport Canada) pourrait ne pas être efficace. Par conséquent, une deuxième réparation est nécessaire.\n\nSur certains véhicules, un problème à l'intérieur de la batterie haute tension pourrait causer un court-circuit. Si cela se produisait, il pourrait y avoir une perte de puissance aux roues et/ou une surchauffe de la batterie haute tension.\nRemarque: Ce rappel remplace le rappel numéro 2025-628 de Transports Canada. Ce rappel concerne seulement certains modèles hybrides rechargeables (VHR) équipés d'un moteur de 2,5 litres.\n\nRisques pour la sécurité:\nUne perte de puissance aux roues pourrait accroître les risques d'accident. Une batterie qui surchauffe pourrait créer un risque d'incendie même lorsque le véhicule est stationné et que le contact est coupé.\n\nMesures correctives:\nPour réduire les risques pour la sécurité, Ford recommande de limiter le niveau de charge maximal du véhicule à 80% et de n'utiliser que le mode électrique (EV) normal jusqu'à ce que les réparations à faire dans le cadre de ce rappel aient été effectuées. Ford doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste poste et leur demander d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour faire mettre à jour le logiciel du module de gestion de l'énergie de la batterie (BECM) et du module de commande du groupe motopropulseur hybride (HPCM). Le logiciel du BECM surveillera la batterie haute tension et affichera un avertissement s'il détecte un problème. Si cet avertissement apparaît, il faut contacter un concessionnaire pour organiser le remplacement de la batterie haute tension."},"vehicles":[{"year":2020,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2020_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2021,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2021_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2022,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2022_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2023,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2023_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2024,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2024_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2025,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2025_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2026,"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","vehicle_id":"2026_ford_escape","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2021,"make":"LINCOLN","model":"CORSAIR","vehicle_id":"2021_lincoln_corsair","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2022,"make":"LINCOLN","model":"CORSAIR","vehicle_id":"2022_lincoln_corsair","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2023,"make":"LINCOLN","model":"CORSAIR","vehicle_id":"2023_lincoln_corsair","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2024,"make":"LINCOLN","model":"CORSAIR","vehicle_id":"2024_lincoln_corsair","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2025,"make":"LINCOLN","model":"CORSAIR","vehicle_id":"2025_lincoln_corsair","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/2026070"}
