The safety of you and your passengers is the top priority when it comes to recall work. NHTSA records show multiple safety-related recalls that can affect the 2019 Ford Escape, including door latch failures that may allow a door to open in motion, transmission shifter-cable bushing defects that could let a vehicle be removed from Park without warning, fuel pump and fuel-line issues that can cause stalling or leaks, and air bag/RCM defects that could delay or prevent proper air bag deployment. Ignoring these recalls increases the risk of injury in a crash, can lead to unexpected vehicle movement or stalling, and in some instances increases fire risk. Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg urges owners to treat recall notices with urgency: recall repairs are free under the manufacturer program, must be performed by a certified dealer to ensure proper OEM parts and software updates, and our factory-trained technicians use Ford diagnostic tools and procedures to restore safety. To protect your family and reduce liability, schedule service or contact our team immediately; we also offer service financing to help with any additional non-recall needs.
