(Reuters) -The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Tuesday that Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) would recall 20,484 hybrid crossover SUVs over battery concerns.
The recall includes certain Ford Escape and luxury Lincoln Corsair vehicles from model years 2020 to 2024.
“A manufacturing defect in one or more of the high voltage battery cells may result in an internal short circuit and battery failure,” the NHTSA said.
Dealers will perform a battery energy control module software update and replace the high voltage battery pack, as necessary, for free, the auto safety regulator said.
