Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 20,558 plug-in hybrid vehicles, including 2020-2024 Ford Escape and 2021-2024 Lincoln Corsair models. A manufacturing defect in the high voltage battery cells can cause an internal short circuit, leading to battery failure. This failure can result in a sudden loss of drive power while driving, increasing the risk of a crash, or can lead to a vehicle fire. While a final repair is being developed, Ford is advising owners to take specific interim safety precautions to reduce risk.
