Bulletin Summary
Some 2023 Escape Hybrid vehicles may exhibit a click or pop noise during drive/reverse engagements most often from the left front axle halfshaft on all wheel drive (AWD) or front wheel drive (FWD) vehicles or in some cases the right front axle halfshaft on FWD models. Ford is aware of this concern and this condition does not affect vehicle durability and no additional diagnosis or service is required for this condition at this time. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition that is expected in March 2024. Monitor OASIS for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
