New 2013 escape crossover can commercial vehicle Ford's well with consumers but security have made not so good with the supervisory authorities of the Federal Republic, after that recall Detroit maker the second, on which the new model announced in less than a week. Earlier versions of the escape are assemblies also because of concerns about potentially sticky accelerators.
Remember the latest escape is aimed specifically at new 2013 models with 1.6 liter engine of the manufacturer. Other versions are not in the recall, involved where Ford takes the unusual step questions owners can be not made with the vehicle repairs. Retailers offer a loaner vehicle for free and to handle the transport of vehicles to the service bays for repairs.
Reminds in contrast to most where decision makers take up to one month begin to notify owners repair, urges immediate action in this case Ford the manufacturer's safety after Ray Naevi, Assistant Director operations.

This week headlines could a setback, as Ford wants to convince that it has solved the last quality issues it driver behind of the industry as the 2012 j.d. power quality initial survey average in such well-tracked studies have left.
But the industry, usually an increase in the number of recalls in recent months according to industry analysts. This can be the result a crackdown by federal authorities after the Toyota safety scandal of 2009/10.
