The week hasn’t been great for Ford so far. Just two days ago, the company had to pause production at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center and it also idled its Louisville Assembly Plant the next day. This is where the Escape crossover is currently produced and according to the information available at this point, it won’t return to the production lines until February 19.
While the F-150 Lightning showed some problems with its battery pack, the issue with the Escape is from a different nature. The crossover, which was refreshed just recently, has software problems with its instrument cluster. It’s not something huge but Ford wanted to prevent affected cars from reaching dealers and being recalled in the future.
