You must be right. The story is different on another newspaper website.
The recall covers 6,164 front-wheel drive Escape Hybrids built from July 28, 2005, through April 21. Ford built about 20,000 Escape Hybrids in the 2006 model year, said Kristen Kinley, a Ford spokeswoman.
The recall does not affect the Escape’s sister vehicle, the Mercury Mariner, also made at Claycomo.
Mariners are produced only as all-wheel-drive vehicles, Kinley said.
