Ford Motor Company is recalling 209 of its 2023-2024 Escape two-wheel drive vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control. During production, the cruise control radar module was misaligned, which can cause the vehicle to incorrectly identify overhead objects as being in the driving path. This defect may lead to the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly slowing down or stopping while in motion. Owners can have this issue resolved by visiting a Ford dealer for a free adjustment of the radar module angle.
The misaligned radar may cause the Adaptive Cruise Control to misclassify overhead objects as obstacles, leading to unexpected braking. Additionally, critical safety features like Pre-Collision Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking may fail or work poorly, significantly increasing the risk of a rear-end collision.
Adjust the angle of the radar module
