Known issues to check on a 2014 Ford Escape
- 1.6L EcoBoost Overheating and Fire Recalls (2013–2014)
2013-2014 Escapes with the 1.6L EcoBoost were recalled more than once because the engine could overheat. In 2012-2013 recalls, Ford addressed coolant leaks and overheating that could crack the cylinder head and leak oil or fuel, creating a fire risk; a 2017 recall covered 2014 models that could overheat if driven with low coolant. Completed recall work matters more than the model year.
What to do: On a 2013-2014 1.6L Escape, confirm every engine and fuel-system recall is complete and the coolant is full before buying. - Shifter Cable Bushing Recall (Rollaway Risk) (2013–2019)
Ford recalled 2013-2019 Escapes because the bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission can degrade or detach. The vehicle could then be in a different gear than the shifter shows, including not being in Park, which creates a rollaway risk.
What to do: Confirm the shifter bushing recall is complete before purchase. - Door Latch Recall (2014)
Ford recalled 2014 Escapes (as part of a larger door-latch campaign) because a door latch could fail, so a door might not latch or could open while driving.
What to do: Make sure each door latches securely and the recall is complete. - Generation and Engine Disambiguation (2011–2026)
The Escape covered here spans three very different generations: the boxy 2011-2012 model (2.5L, 3.0L V6, Hybrid), the 2013-2019 model (2.5L, 1.6L/1.5L/2.0L EcoBoost) and the 2020-2026 model (1.5L three-cylinder, 2.0L EcoBoost, Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid). Two different 1.5L engines exist: a four-cylinder in 2017-2019 and a three-cylinder from 2020.
What to do: Confirm year, engine and drivetrain before comparing prices or specs.
Recall applicability varies by model year, production date, engine, drivetrain and VIN. Check the VIN for open recalls and completed remedies, including repeat repairs on fuel-injector and engine recalls.
