★ Top Answer
The 2009 Ford Escape is being recalled due to a potential issue with the subframe, which can fail due to excessive rust buildup. This problem is particularly common in northern regions and other cold areas with heavy snowfall, where salt is used on the roads to melt ice and snow but can also lead to vehicle damage. The manufacturer will address this by installing reinforcement braces on affected SUVs to prevent premature rusting caused by salt exposure. The subframes were originally produced without adequate coating to protect against rust.
