  Covers: Ford Escape HEV 2006

  Reported issue: On certain front wheel drive hybrid vehicles, the intermediate shaft may not have been properly heat treated and may fracture while the vehicle is being driven.

  Possible consequence: If a fracture occurs, the powertrain will lose the ability to transmit torque to the drive wheels and the transmission will not hold the vehicle stationary when placed in the park position, which could result in a crash.

  Remedy: Dealers will inspect the drivetrain intermediate shaft and replace it if necessary. The recall began on october 23, 2006. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
