The 2025 Ford Escape faces a broad set of historical recall issues across related model years that illustrate real safety risks that owners must not ignore. Specific NHTSA-recorded defects include door latch and exterior door-handle misalignment that could allow a door to open while driving, transmission shifter bushing failures that may let a key be removed even though the vehicle is not in Park, and air bag or restraint control module problems that could delay or prevent deployment in a crash. Other recorded issues involve fuel delivery, engine cooling components that can lead to overheating and fire risk, electrical splices that can cause stalling, and tire curing problems that may cause sudden air loss. Ignoring these recalls can increase the chance of injury, reduce insurance coverage options after an incident, and affect warranty and legal protections.

If you believe your 2025 Ford Escape is affected, please schedule service so we can inspect and apply the proper remedial repairs at no cost under the recall program.

Typical dealer remedies range from software updates and part replacements that are often completed the same day, to more complex hardware swaps that may require ordering parts; we’ll provide a timeline and loaner or rental options where available. While waiting for parts, Ford or our service advisors will explain interim safety steps you should follow—such as using the parking brake if a shifter bushing issue is present.
