Most of the numbers are related to a defective wiring harness installed in the 2013-2014 Ford Focus ST and Escape, but only models outfitted with 2.0-liter engines.
The harness is used to send signals to the powertrain control module. Some of the splices were insufficiently compressed by an unnamed supplier, potentially leading to signal glitches that can cause loss of engine power or stalling.
Approximately 1,300 Lincoln MKC crossovers from the 2015 model year have been recalled for a separate issue related to bubble imperfections in the windshield glass. The company suggests high temperatures can exacerbate the problem.
Two other campaigns focus on the 2015 Ford Transit, affecting a total of just 1,900 vehicles. One recall focuses on a bad joint between the rear brake hose and the caliper, allowing fluid to leak. The second problem has been blamed on a manufacturing error that omitted necessary epoxy reinforcement from windowless sliding doors, allowing the door to unlatch in certain side-impact crash scenarios.
Ford has not reported any accidents or injuries blamed on the various defects.
