Official summary
Some 2017 Escape vehicles built on or before 02-Feb-2017 may exhibit an auto stop/start condition where the vehicle does not auto restart after an auto stop event. Upon attempting to restart, the instrument panel may display a message instructing the customer to shift the vehicle to park and start the vehicle manually. To correct this condition, reprogram the Body Control Module(BCM) using Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) or Ford J2534 Diagnostic Software (FJDS) release 108.05 or higher. Make sure you are connected to the internet when entering module programming to obtain the latest updates
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
