USA RECALL #17 - Ford recalls 133,000+ Focus and Escape 2.0 Litre for insufficient compression in the wiring harness.

SUMMARY:
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Escape vehicles manufactured October 5, 2011, to April 1, 2013, and equipped with 2.0 liter engines and Focus ST vehicles manufactured February 14, 2012, to October 14, 2013, and equipped with 2.0 liter engines. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM).
CONSEQUENCE:
The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 29, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S17.
