Buying a used 2024 Ford Escape Phev? Check these 2 recalls first
Same two critical recalls as the 2022 and 2023 plug-in hybrids: high-voltage battery failure and battery fire risk. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The complaint record is very sparse — 6 unverified owner reports filed with NHTSA, 5 of them electrical system, with no crashes, fires or injuries reported. With so few reports, treat the battery recall completion status and service history as the substantive item rather than reading much into complaint counts.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Run the VIN through NHTSA to confirm both battery recalls show as completed
- Ask for all battery, charging and software service records since new
- Verify the charging system works end to end and check for stored electrical fault warnings
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
