Recall redone
Campaign 26V374000 covers vehicles that were already repaired under recall 16V617000, according to NHTSA's description. When looking at one of these cars, ask for paperwork showing the later remedy was done, not just the first one.
-
Where complaints cluster
Complaints concentrate on the engine: 46% of the 2,701 on file. The top components are engine (1,243, of which 3 mention a crash, 4 a fire and 1 an injury), engine and engine cooling (478) and power train (376, of which 5 mention a crash, 3 a fire and 5 an injury). Across all 2,701 reports, 39 describe a crash, 15 a fire and 38 at least one injury.
-
Recent reports
317 complaints (12% of the total) were filed in the last 12 months, so owners are still reporting problems, most often about the engine (206).
-
Changes from 2016
EPA lists a 1.5-litre four-cylinder for 2017 that does not appear in the 2016 listing; the 1.6-litre four-cylinder is listed for 2016 but not for 2017; four recall campaigns name one of the two years and not the other (air bags, back over prevention and visibility).
-
Fuel economy and running cost
Its most efficient version (1.5-litre 4-cylinder) is rated 26 mpg combined, close to the median for the 2017 SUVs we cover (median 25 mpg across 46 other EPA listings); the thirstiest version is rated 23 mpg. At 15,000 miles a year and the national average regular gasoline price of $4.28 (EIA, week of Oct 19, 2026), fuel would cost about $2,470 a year in the most efficient version and about $2,790 in the thirstiest.

Visibility:power window devices and controls
· 26V374000 · 2026-06-09
A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017 Escape vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 16V617. The power-operated windows may exert excessive force when encountering an object, before they automatically reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."
Consequence: A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Dealers will update the power window operating system software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 22, 2026. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov on July 6, 2026.
Equipment:electrical:engine block heater
· 26V011000 · 2026-01-16
An electrical short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Focus, 2013-2019 Escape, and 2015-2016 MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine. The engine block heater may crack and develop a coolant leak, causing it to short circuit when the block heater is plugged in.
Consequence: An electrical short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Owners are advised not to plug in their block heater until the vehicle is remedied. Dealers will replace the block heater, free of charge. Owners will also have a alternative option to replace engine block heater element with a threaded plug, and remove the block heater electrical cord. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed March 6, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Escape, 2013-2018 C-Max, 2013-2016 Fusion, 2013-2021 Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Edge vehicles. The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.
Consequence: A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the under hood shift bushing and add a protective cap over the shift cable bushing, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters, informing owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 1, 2022. Remedy parts are expected to be available in 4th Quarter 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed October 27, 2022.
Visibility:power window devices and controls
· 16V617000 · 2016-08-24
If a window closes on a body part, it can increase the risk of injury.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2017 Ford Escape Titanium and SE vehicles manufactured October 5, 2015, to May 12, 2016. The settings for the closing-force of the power-operated windows may allow the windows to close on an object such as a body part and injure it before the windows auto-reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."
Consequence: If a window closes on a body part, it can increase the risk of injury.
Remedy: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will update the power window operating system software, free of charge. The recall began on September 6, 2016.
