Ford said the twin vehicle the 2008 ford escape hybrid has recalls for the throttle body assembly and blend door actuator for hybrid battery cooling system that have been identified as causing the stop safely now message which because the vehicle suddenly drops from highway speeds to about 20mph could cause serious accidents.
