Remedy
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the BCM, free of charge. Owners are advised that two key fobs are required for the repair to be completed. The recall is expected to begin November 23, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 20S59.

SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Advance Notice – Safety Recall 20S59
Certain 2020 Model Year Escape Vehicles
Body Control Module Replacement
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| Escape | 2020 | Louisville | June 26, 2020 through August 14, 2020 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the Body Control Module (BCM) Radio Frequency (RF) Receiver may not pick up the signal from the rear Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors or the Remote Key Fob (RKE). Drivers may experience:
- Inadequate TPMS warning in the event of a low tire pressure condition.
- Intermittent TPMS malfunction cluster warnings that may clear.
- RKE that operate only at a reduced distance from the vehicle.
SERVICE ACTION
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers late November, when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall.
IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published. Opening a RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty rejections against a recall.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail after repair instructions and parts ordering information have been provided to dealers.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery.
QUESTIONS & ASSISTANCE
For questions and assistance, contact the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) via the SSSC Web Contact Site. The SSSC Web Contact Site can be accessed through the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website using the SSSC link listed at the bottom of the OASIS VIN report screen or listed under the SSSC tab.
Sincerely,
David J. Johnson
