ENGINE
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Escape, 2021-2023 Corsair, and 2022-2023 Maverick vehicles equipped with 2.5L HEV or PHEV engines that were repaired incorrectly under recall 23V380. In the event of an engine failure, engine oil and fuel vapor may be released into the engine compartment and accumulate near ignition sources such as hot engine or exhaust components, possibly resulting in an engine compartment fire.
- What it can cause
- An engine compartment fire increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to park and shut off the engine as quickly as possible if they hear unexpected engine noises, notice a reduction in vehicle power, or see smoke. Dealers will update the powertrain control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S54.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 1,809 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 65% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the engine 11 times before this, most recently in August 2024 as 24V598000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 9 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 2,554 complaints with NHTSA, 1,680 of them before this campaign was filed. 249 of those name the engine, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2019, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 65 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V340000 (suspension), 26V123000 (back over prevention), 26V117000 (visibility), 26V104000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on May 23, 2025 as campaign 25V345000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
