Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 25,191 vehicles, including certain 2022-2026 Ford Escape and 2023-2026 Lincoln Corsair plug-in hybrid models. A manufacturing defect in the high voltage battery cells can cause an internal short circuit, leading to battery failure. While a final repair is still being developed, owners are being instructed to limit their battery charge to 80% and only use specific driving modes to reduce risk.
A battery failure can cause the vehicle to suddenly lose drive power while moving, which increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, the short circuit within the battery cells increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
Final remedy is currently under development.
