RATTLE/BUZZ NOISE OR VIBRATION FROM RIGHT REAR FLOORBOARD ON ACCELERATION BETWEEN 1500-2500 RPM – BUILT ON OR BEFORE 9/15/2013

FORD

2013-2014 Escape

2013-2014 Escape vehicles equipped with 1.6L or 2.0L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI) engines and built on or before 9/15/2013 may exhibit a rattle/buzz noise or vibration from the right rear floorboard on acceleration between 1500-2500 RPM.

This may be due to a high frequency oscillation from the fuel pump being induced through the fuel/vapor line bundle routed on the right underside of the vehicle.

A new fuel/vapor line isolator clip is now available.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Yes – proceed to Step 2.
