Ford Escape and Bronco Sport Recalls

According to an online news report posted on reuters.com, Ford Motor Company has initiated a recall of 737,000 motor vehicles due to a fire hazard and software issue that can inhibit braking. The recall only affects vehicles sold in the United States. The Ford Motor Company is recalling about 345,000 2020-2022 Ford Escape cars and 2021-2022 Ford Bronco Sport vehicles that have 1.5L engines due to the engine oil separator housing cracking and creating an oil leak that can cause an engine fire.

Ford stated that there had been at least eight engine fires that might be related to the engine oil separator housing problem, but no related accidents or injuries were reported. Ford dealers will inspect the engine oil separator housing for oil leaks or damage and will replace the oil separator and seals if necessary.

Ford also reported that it is recalling more than 391,000 2021-2022 F-150, 2022 Ford Maverick, Lincoln Navigator, Expedition, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks due to a defect in the trailer electric or electric-over hydraulic brake system. The issue causes the trailer to not brake. Ford dealers will perform an update of the integrated trailer brake control module software. Ford announced that they had received 67 improper function reports that are related to the issue.

I was in a car accident about a month ago, and had no idea what to do or where to go for help. As I was struggling to walk one morning, when the commercial for Park Waichman came on and the jingle stuck in my head "1800 Just Call, just call that's all!" Well, I called, and like the jingle says, that's all I had to do. Everyone at the office has been a very present help, and always answer my calls and emails timely. Julie and Maryann have been so patient and wonderful with my constant questions, and have taken care of everything! Joanne has been a constant reassurance in reaching out to check on me and make sure that my medical needs are being addressed by my health care providers and that my care is progressing as best as possible. She has a very warm and kindhearted demeanor, which makes everything seem like it will be ok. Thank you for that Joanne, it means the world to me! I would highly recommend the team at Parker Waichman.

Parker Waichman handled my case very well and obtained a fantastic result. The team representing me had me informed of the progress from begining to end. My attorney Joonho fought very hard for me and his paralegal Meredith Ippolito was exceptional fielding my many questions and making sure everything was getting done as it was supposed too. I cant thank my PW team enough for handling my case professionally and for the outstanding result!
