Ford is recalling about 446,000 Ford Escape cross over vehicles from the 2001 thru 2004 model years because the antilock brake system’s wiring harness can smoke or melt or burn! And you thought squeeling brakes were bad!

Turns out that some system seals are either missing or installed wrong on the wiring harness. That can lead to corrosion when road salt or water gets into the ABS module, an electrical wiring connector, Ford admits. As a result, the ABS warning light can come on and could lead to smoking or melting or burning of the ABS system’s electrical connector.

Ford started investigating the problem in the summer of 2006 and federal safety investigators launched a detailed investigation a few months later. Federal officials say nearly a hundred of the Ford Escape vehicles have experienced a fire or the melting or smoking symptoms, with the total pretty evenly split between a fire or the melting-smoking.

Luckily the hybrid powertrain Escape is not on the recall list.
