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.","mfr_campaign":"25SC4","units":22955,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["ESCAPE"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2026070"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"26V091000","date":"2026-02-17","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","component":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY","summary":"Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Ford Escape and 2023-2026 Lincoln Corsair plug-in hybrid vehicles.
