Ford has delayed manufacturing its plug-in hybrid Escape until next year after some of its SUVs of another model that use the same battery cells, the Kuga, caught fire in Europe.
The Kuga, Ford's most popular SUV in Europe with 153,800 sold in 2018,
has a defect that could cause its battery packs to venting hot gas that would increase the risk of overheating and fire.
The Escape shares components including battery cells with the Kuga, Barbossa said.
According to Jay Ward, a Ford spokesman, 20,500 of the Kugas have been recalled with seven cases of fire linked to defect, but without resulting deaths or injuries.
The recalled models were manufactured between July 2019 and July 2020.
Ford manufactures the Escape in Louisville, Kentucky.
The latest model of the Escape will be offered in two hybrid versions, one of which is a plug-in.
