Ford is recalling certain model year 2001-2002 Escape vehicles manufactured from October 22, 1999 through July 19, 2002, equipped with a brake master cylinder reservoir cap that could leak brake fluid. If brake fluid leaks from the cap, it could come in contact with the antilock brake system (ABS) module wiring harness connector. Consequence: corrosion can develop in the electrical connector leading to melting, smoke, or a fire.
