Ford recalled 13,451 Escape SUVs from model year 2020 because their rear brakes can lose power, requiring more force than normal to stop the vehicle.
The company tells federal safety officials, “Some vehicles may be equipped with rear brake linings that have a friction coefficient that is outside of the specified tolerances.” A built-in brake booster can compensate for the problem, but if it malfunctions, “the customer may experience increased brake pedal forces and extended stopping distances.”
Dealers will replace the brake pads and linings to fix the problem.
