Official summary

Some 2017 Escape vehicles built on or before 18-May-2017 may be unable to reset the oil change indicator following the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 413-01 procedure. This may be due to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) software that was updated and/or an IPC replacement during a previous service visit. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the IPC with an updated service part.

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.
