发帖数: 2424 | 1 2013 Ford Escape (c) MSN AutosFord is recalling the 2013 Escape to fix
engine plugs that could leak coolant, according to a filing Tuesday with the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It's the third time the new
Escape has been recalled since it went on sale earlier this year.
In August, a Nashville Ford dealer reported an underhood fire on a 2013
Escape during a test drive when an engine cylinder head cup plug came loose.
The cup plugs keep coolant from flowing out of the engine's external
cooling jacket, and typically pop out only if the coolant freezes and expand
. However, in this instance and a similar problem Ford found in July, the
plug simply loosened, causing coolant to leak and catch fire when the glycol
in the coolant contacted the overheated engine.
Ford is recalling only models with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine, which was
recalled in July for fuel lines that could split and leak gasoline. Ford
says 6,146 vehicles with that engine will be recalled in the U.S., out of
about 7,600 worldwide. Dealers will seal the plug and fit a cap on top
beginning Sept. 10. Owners can contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.
Also in July, Ford recalled nearly all 2013 Escape crossovers for carpet
padding that could interfere with the driver's use of the brake pedal.
During that month, Ford recalled nearly 485,000 Escape SUVs from 2001-2004
after NHTSA received 99 owner complaints -- including the report of a fatal
crash in January -- of throttles not returning to idle when the gas pedal
was released. | T****U
