Ford To Recall 500,000 Escape SUVs

Ford To Recall 500,000 Escape SUVs
Automaker Is Recalling Vehicles After Reports Of Engine Fires Linked To Brake Trouble
WASHINGTON, April 10, 2007



(AP) Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday it was recalling more than 500,000 Ford Escape sport utility vehicles after receiving reports of engine fires linked to corrosion on antilock brake connectors.

Ford said the recall involved 444,880 Escapes from the 2001-2004 model years in the United States and about 75,000 Escapes in Canada, Mexico and Europe. The recall does not affect hybrid versions of the SUV, the automaker said.

That is a very large number of recalled vehicles. I wonder how much something like this costs them? Not a good thing when your trying to turn your negatives into positives.

I agree it's going to be expensive. But it's better for their public image than if they were to deny there even was a problem as they've done in the past.

I wonder how much it costs as well. This is not a good thing. But at least they are doing the right thing here. I'm really pulling for Ford. But I hope they clean up their act a bit
