Defect Summary | Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2016 Ford Escape vehicles.

Consequence Summary | In the event of a crash, if the driver's knee air bag does not inflate as intended, the driver has an increased risk of injury. |
Corrective Summary | Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace driver's knee air bag, free of charge. The recall began on August 8, 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 17C11. |
