Buying a used 2022 Ford Escape Phev? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 78 owner complaints on file

The 2022 Ford Escape PHEV has 2 recalls in this group, both identified as critical and concerning battery failure or a hybrid battery defect. Battery recall status is therefore a central part of its record. The 78 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 36 in engine, 23 in electrical system, and 11 in power train. Those categories warrant reviewing repair history, but they do not establish that the complaints arose from the recalled battery defects.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Request VIN-specific completion records for both battery recalls.
3. Ask about charging interruptions, battery warnings, and electrical repairs.
4. Review invoices for engine and power train complaints.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
