This bulletin supersedes 18-2314. Reason for update: Incorrect or Missing Parts
Model:
Ford
2013-2016 Escape
Summary
This article supersedes TSB 18-2314 to update the Parts List.
Issue: Some 2013-2016 Escape vehicles equipped with a 1.6L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a lack of
cooling caused by the A/C inlet line breaking at the compressor. This may be due to the oil cooler coolant
lines exerting excess pressure on the A/C inlet line. When replacing the A/C inlet line, a support clip for
the oil cooler coolant line should be installed to prevent contacting the A/C inlet line. To correct the
condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the A/C inlet line and adjust the gap between the
A/C inlet line and the CAC hose.
Action: Follow the Service Procedure to correct the condition on vehicles that meet all of the following
criteria:
• 2013-2016 Escape
• 1.6L engine
• Lack of A/C cooling
• A/C inlet line broken at the compressor connection
