Ford has 3 vehicle recalls in a year

First there was the Lincoln which had 13,574 units recalled of its 2015 MKC compact crossover. They reason for this is they moved the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker’s announcement: “Due to the switch’s close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving.” This was becauseĀ theĀ button was located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which made it possible to hit by mistake. … To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module.

The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving.

And third, they also had to recall the 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America again because of the same issue, a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving.
