Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 9,312 vehicles, including certain 2022-2024 Maverick, 2020-2022 Escape, and 2021-2022 Lincoln Corsair models. A software error in the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) can cause these vehicles to unexpectedly shift into neutral while driving. This defect leads to a sudden loss of drive power, which can occur without warning. Ford dealers will provide a free software update to resolve the issue.
If the vehicle shifts into neutral unexpectedly, the driver will lose the ability to accelerate or maintain speed. This sudden loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash, especially when traveling at high speeds or in heavy traffic.
