Recall 07V156000: ABS Module Connector Defect
MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Ford/Escape 2001-2004
MANUFACTURER: Ford Motor Company
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V156000 MFR'S REPORT DATE: March 30, 2007
COMPONENT: Service Brakes, Hydraulic: Antilock: Control Unit/Module
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 446460
SUMMARY:
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with Antilock Brakes (ABS), the ABS module connector may have missing or dislodged wire seals. This
condition could allow contamination to enter the module connector, creating a potential for an electrical short.
CONSEQUENCE:
An electrical short might cause an ABS malfunction that would illuminate the ABS warning light, and in some cases, the module may overheat resulting
in burning odor, smoke, and/or fire. This condition could occur either when the vehicle ignition switch is in the off position or while the vehicle is being
operated.
Remedy:
Dealers will inspect the wire harness connector to the ABS module for missing or dislodged wire seals, and repair or replace the harness connector as
appropriate. The dealer will also inspect the connector on the ABS module and replace it if it is found to be corroded or damaged. The recall began on
April 23, 2007. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
