Everyone keep watching for a recall from Ford about the ABS. It looks like it might possibly be an older recall. My sister got the recall in today for her 2002 Escape. The recall number is 07S51 - ABS module connector inspection. Go to
Genuine Ford and Lincoln Mercury Parts & Service and click on the "recall" option on the left side of the page and enter your VIN to see if a recall has been issued for your Escape.
