Buying a used 2023 Ford Escape Phev? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 13 owner complaints on file

The 2023 Ford Escape PHEV has 2 recalls in this group, both identified as critical battery-related entries covering possible failure and a hybrid battery defect. Its 13 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports: 8 concern electrical system, 2 engine, 2 unknown or other, and 1 fuel/propulsion system. No crashes, fires, or injuries are listed in these complaints. Battery recall documentation and any electrical repair history are the most directly relevant records to review.

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. Verify VIN-specific completion of both battery recalls.
3. Ask about charging faults, battery warnings, and electrical repairs.
4. Request records for engine or fuel/propulsion concerns.
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.
