Ford recalled 2020-2024 Escape PHEVs under 24V-954 and again under 25V-789 (Nov 2025), remedies include battery diagnostic software and pack module replacement where faults are detected. PHEV owners should keep charging habits normal and get recall software promptly. NHTSA 24V-954; NHTSA 25V-789. Typical cost: Free under recall. ### 8F35 8-speed transmission shudder (moderate) Many 2020+ Escapes (and Bronco Sport/Maverick/Corsair) with the 8F35 exhibit a shudder or vibration under light throttle below ~60 mph with no fault codes. Ford has issued a long series of TSBs, the usual remedy is a fluid exchange with revised Mercon ULV and a TCM recalibration; stubborn cases get a torque converter. Documented in NHTSA manufacturer communications through 2026. Ford TSB series on 8F35 shudder (superseded repeatedly, e.g. NHTSA item 11032566); no recall. Typical cost: Free under powertrain warranty; $300-$500 fluid/reflash or $1,500-$2,500 converter out of warranty. 4 more issues are reported in other 2020-2025 years: 1.5L cracked fuel injector, underhood fire risk (recall, twice remedied) (2020-2022 (1.5L)); 2.5L hybrid/PHEV engine failure can eject oil, fire risk (recall) (2020-2023 (hybrid and PHEV)); Engine oil leaks from oil separator / ball plugs, fire risk (recalls) (2020-2022 (1.5L primarily)); Rear brake pads manufactured incorrectly (recall) and fast rear-pad wear (2020).
