## What the record says

- **Product**: FORD ESCAPE (2017) - Recall 26V374000
- **Reason**: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017 Escape vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 16V617. The power-operated windows may exert excessive force when encountering an object, before they automatically reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems." A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.
- **Classification**: Not supplied
- **Recalling firm**: Ford Motor Company
- **Quantity**: 18124
- **Agency-reported status**: Published safety recall
- **Source record identifier**: 324360
