Ford is pulling 20,484 hybrid crossovers due to battery problems.
The decision affects vehicles such as the Ford Escape and the luxury Lincoln Corsair built between 2020 and 2024.
A manufacturing defect in one or more of the high-voltage cells could cause an internal short circuit and battery failure.
Dealers will perform a free software update of the battery's energy management module and replace the high-voltage battery pack if necessary, the U.S. auto safety regulator said. | BGNES
