Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Ford Escape vehicles manufactured February 26, 2009, to April 29, 2012, and 2010-2011 Mercury Mariner vehicles manufactured February 25, 2009, to December 12, 2010. On vehicles with a 3.0L engine, the Fuel Delivery Module (FDM) may crack, causing a fuel leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the FDM flange with one that has a redesigned fuel supply port, free of charge. Remedy parts are currently unavailable. Interim notices were mailed to owners on December 13, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16S41.

Suspension, front, wheel bearingJun 3, 2015
The Timken Company (Timken) is recalling certain aftermarket front wheel bearings, part number 510072, sold from January 22, 2015, to May 21, 2015, to be used as service parts on 2001-2012 Ford Escape, 2001-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner vehicles. The affected wheel bearings have incorrect dimensions of a 42mm bore, 76mm outer dimension, and 39mm width, instead of a 42mm bore, 78mm outer dimension and a 45mm width.
Use of an incorrectly sized wheel bearing can adversely affect the braking and steering of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Timken has begun notifying distributors who will offer purchasers replacement wheel bearings, free of charge. The recall began on May 21, 2015. Owners may contact Timken customer service at 1-866-984-6536.

Steering, electric power assist systemMay 29, 2014
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner vehicles manufactured August 18, 2006, through September 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input. As a result, the system could remove the Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist.
If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power steering control module (PSCM) and the instrument cluster module, free of charge. If a vehicle shows a history of a loss of the torque sensor signal or fault codes relating to the PSCM when the vehicle is brought in for the recall remedy, the affected components will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on July 18, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S05.

RECALL 16V-777 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN JANUARY 2018 STATING THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE FIXED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER - GIBBONS FORD AND WAS PUT ON THE WAITING LIST SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS. IT IS NOW APRIL AND THE DEALER HAS ONLY RECEIVED THREE OF THE PARTS TO DATE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SEVICE AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER CAS14605645. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD BE ELEVATED TO THEIR MANAGEMENT, BUT I THINK FOUR MONTHS IS EXTREMELY LONG TIME TO EFFECT A RECALL. THE VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GAS AND I'M HESITANT TO DRIVE IT DUE TO THE INCREASED RISK OF FIRE. I BASICALLY HAVE A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE WAITING ON FORD TO GET PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIP. ANY PRESSURE THAT CAN BE PUT ON FORD TO GET THE PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK AND RADIATOR FAN RUNNING CONSTANTLY AND LOUDLY SOUNDING AS IF IT WILL BLOW UP. THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS HAVE THE RADIATOR FAN RELAY SWITCH. THE ISSUES ARE RE-OCCURING AGAIN. FORD DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM OR OF A FIX, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THESES ISSUES APPEAR SOMEHOW TO BE RELATED BECAUSE WHEN THE RAD FAN IS ON HIGH, SOON AFTER THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT DUMPS THE COOLANT. I JUST HAD A 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION AND THE COOLANT WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN FILTHY, BUT IT HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED IN EARLY JULY 2017, WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT DUMPED IT. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT WORKING AND THE RAD FAN IS RUNNING ON HIGH ALL THE TIME.

I HAVE GOTTEN A RECALL 16V-777, 16S41/NHTSA. I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR OIL AND THEY CHECKED THE RECALL, THEY TOLD ME MY TEST FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE PARTS. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK. SO SOON AS I TURNED OFF MY CAR AFTER I LEFT THERE. I HAD A PROBLEM RESTARTING IT. I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT A FEW DAYS, THAT THERE MAYBE AIR IN THE LINE. IT HAD GOTTEN WORSE. WENT BACK IN FOR REPAIR. IT WAS GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH IT RESTARTING. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT FORD GARAGE. THEY TOLD ME THEY WON'T TOUCH IT BECAUSE A DIFFERENT GARAGE DID THE WORK. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NOT BEEN BACK TO THE GARAGE THAT DID THE WORK YET. I WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THE REPAIR WAS DONE. SO THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS IT WHEN I AM TRYING TO START MY ESCAPE.
