AP News 1 Fire risk recall on 2020–2022 Escapes: Some Escapes with the 1.5L turbo engine have been recalled due to cracked fuel injectors that may leak fuel, posing a fire risk.

Test all electronics: infotainment, connectivity (wired & wireless CarPlay / Android Auto), cameras, displays. Test drive under varying conditions (city, highway, uphill) to identify hesitation, noise, or transmission behavior. Check service history, especially maintenance on turbo, engine, and cooling system. Inspect body, trim, panel fits, interior condition, and ensure no signs of leaks or damage.
