Official summary
Some 2017 Escape vehicles may exhibit an auto stop/start concern when the vehicle does not auto restart. The concern can occur at a stop where the vehicle will perform an auto stop/start 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. This concern may be intermittent and difficult to duplicate. Do not attempt any repairs at this time. Engineering is investigating, monitor OASIS for 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.
