Ford has issued a recall for the 2013 Escape to fix a wiring defect.
In some vehicles, certain splices in the engine wiring harness may have been insufficiently crimped during the manufacturing process. As a result, the powertrain control module can receive incorrect signals from the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor.
High resistance in the circuits can cause engine performance issues, including reduced power, hesitation, running rough or stalling without warning. Engine shutdown while underway increases the risk of a crash.
Service technicians will repair the wiring harness splices to reduce resistance and restore proper signal communication.
The campaign affects approximately 9,000 vehicles sold in the US market.
