According to The Detroit News, Ford issued a recall for 847,000 model year 2013 to 2014 Ford C-MAX, Fusion, Escape and Lincoln MKZ for an electrical glitch that can prevent the airbags from deploying in the event in a crash.
If a short occurs in the restraints control module the airbag warning indicator will illuminate. But depending on the location of the short circuit, the deployable restoration may not function as intended in the event of a crash, Ford reports.
Additionally, the short circuit may also affect the function of other systems including the vehicle’s stability control.
Today’s recall marks the 12th for the 2013 Ford Escape. The last recall involving the Escape was issued just last month for a poor electrical connection that could cause the engine to unexpectedly lose power or stall.
