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.

I RECEIVED AN ERROR ABOUT MY STEERING ASSISTANT AND THEN MY STEERING JUST WENT OUT. IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL AND I WAS DRIVING MY MOTHER HOME. I AM LUCKY WE WEREN'T BOTH KILLED! OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE!!! I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT MY VIN ISN'T COVERED AS PART OF THE RECALL THAT INVOLVES THIS SAME ISSUE. IT WILL BE $900 TO FIX AND I'M UNSURE HOW TO COMPLAIN.

IT IS UNFORTUNATE TO MY FAMILY AS WELL, SINCE ITS ONLY A FEW WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS BUT WILL NEED TO PAY THIS EXPENSE. THERE IS A STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT SAYS IT WAS MADE IN KANSAS. BASED ON THE RECALL IN PLACE THAT IS THE PLANT AFFECTED. I CAN SEND A PIC OF THAT STICKER IF YOU NEED IT.

IF A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED, CUSTOMERS SHOULD KEEP A FAULTY PART IN THEIR VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THAT FAULTY PART IS PRONE TO A FAILURE THAT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT? IF THIS IS NOT THE POSITION HELD, CAN YOU CONFIRM FOR ME THEN, IT SEEMS TO BE THE POSITION OF FORD, THAT IF THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE A LOWER PROBABILITY OF FAILING, THIS STILL DOES NOT WARRANT AN EXTENSION TO THE COVERAGE FOR THOSE OLDER/ORIGINAL PARTS, IS THIS CORRECT? *TR
