NHTSA lists 4 recalls reported for the 2016 FORD Escape. Recall campaigns apply to a year, make, and model — not a specific VIN — so confirm whether this vehicle is affected and unrepaired at NHTSA.gov/recalls.

  • AIR BAGS:KNEE BOLSTER

    Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2016 Ford Escape vehicles. The driver's knee airbag modules installed in these vehicles were produced without the inflator gas generant material, and, as a result, the air bags may not inflate properly in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

    Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace driver's knee air bag, free of charge. The recall began on August 8, 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 17C11.
