Ford Motor Company will recall 20,484 hybrid sport utility vehicles (SUVs) due to battery issues. The recall involves 2020-2024 models of the Ford Escape and the luxury Lincoln Corsair. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that the recall is due to manufacturing defects in one or more high-voltage battery cells, which may cause internal short circuits and battery failures. US auto safety regulators said dealers will provide free updates to the battery energy control module software and replace high-voltage battery packs if necessary. Ford's power battery suppliers include LG Energy Solution, SK On, Panasonic, CATL, and BYD.
