Ford Escape: Brakes
Affects Ford Escape · 2023 — about 113 vehicles.
The hazard
Issue: On certain vehicles, the cruise control radar module may not have been aligned correctly during production. As a result, the adaptive cruise control may falsely detect an obstacle and stop or slow down the vehicle suddenly. Additionally, other driver assistance systems may not work properly, including the pre-collision assist, forward collision warning and/or automatic emergency braking. Note: This recall only affects two-wheel drive vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control. Safety Risk: A vehicle that brakes or stops suddenly when there is no risk of a collision could increase the risk of a crash. Vehicle safety systems that don't work correctly could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to realign the cruise control module radar.
