Ford Motor recently issued four new recalls, including nearly 160,000 2013-14 Ford Focus STs and Escapes, reports The Detroit News.
According to the news report, the recall covers vehicles with 2-liter engines in North America. The automaker said that engine wiring harnesses may have splices that were insufficiently compressed by the supplier.
“Poor electrical connections can cause erroneous signals to be sent to the powertrain control module and affect engine performance. The defect may result in an engine malfunction indicator light, reduced engine power, hesitation or stalling.”
The recall affects vehicles that include 2013-14 Ford Focus ST models with 2-liter engine built at Michigan Assembly Plant Feb. 14, 2012-Oct. 14, 2013, and some 2013-14 Escapes with 2-liter engines built Oct. 5, 2011-April 1, 2013, at the Louisville Assembly Plant.
