Ford technical service bulletin SSM 52179 for 2023 Ford Escape and 2023 Lincoln Corsair.

Bulletin number
SSM 52179
Component
Electrical system: instrument cluster/panel
Summary
Some 2023 Escape/Corsair vehicles built on or before 07-Sep-2023 may exhibit an intermittent no crank/no start condition with various lost communication diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in various modules and multiple illuminated warning indicators such as: anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator, parking brake (red) indicator, brake warning indicator, parking brake (yellow) warning indicator and/or parking brake (red) indicator and/or stability-traction control indicator displayed in the instrumental panel cluster (IPC). This may be due to the software in the ABS module. To restart the vehicle, allow the vehicle to be powered off for more than 10 minutes and attempt a restart. 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 February 2024. Replacement or reprogramming of the ABS module will not resolve this condition. Monitor OASIS for additional information
