Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 20,484 vehicles, specifically 2020-2024 Ford Escape and 2021-2024 Lincoln Corsair models, due to a manufacturing defect in the high-voltage battery cells. This defect can lead to an internal short circuit, which may cause the battery to fail while driving or even catch fire. Owners will receive a free software update for the battery energy control module and, if necessary, a full replacement of the high-voltage battery pack.
A short circuit within the battery cells can result in a sudden loss of drive power, which increases the risk of a crash, or an internal battery fire.
