The United States Fire Administration announced today that Ford is recalling approximately 245,000 2001-2002 Escape vehicles manufactured from October 22, 1999, through July 19, 2002. The specific vehicles recalled were equipped with a brake master cylinder reservoir cap that could leak brake fluid. If brake fluid leaks from the cap, it could come in contact with the antilock brake system (ABS) module wiring harness connector, which in turn could lead to corrosion of the electrical connector and potential melting, smoke, or a fire.
