Bulletin number
SSM 52162
Component
Unknown or other
Summary
Some 2023 Escape vehicles equipped with 1.5L engines may exhibit an Engine Coolant Over-Temperature Warning message displayed in the instrumental panel cluster (IPC) and an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P1285 and/or P1299 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) during hard acceleration or under high load conditions. Ford is aware of the concern and this condition does not affect vehicle durability and no additional diagnosis or service is required for this condition at this time. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition that is expected in Q1 of 2024. Replacement of the cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor may not resolve this condition. Monitor OASIS for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available.
