# NHTSA recall 24V440000

> **Ford Motor Company** · 2024 FORD ESCAPE · component: **FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL**

## Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Escape two-wheel drive vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control.  The cruise control radar module was misaligned during production.

## Consequence

Misalignment of the radar module can result in the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) misclassifying an overhead object as an object in the vehicle's path, causing the vehicle to unexpectedly slow and/or stop.  Other safety systems that depend on the radar model (Pre-Collision Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and Auto Emergency Braking) could have diminished or lost function.  These conditions increase the risk of a crash.

## Remedy

Dealers will adjust the angle of the radar module, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed July 3, 2024.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 24S39.
