Even worse for the company, the recalls are for two different problems.
The earlier recall was due to an error in manufacturing led to extra carpet padding that can get in the way of the brake pedal.
This new one is being made due to the possibility of the engine catching on fire.
2013 Escapes that have the 1.6 liter four cylinder engine, have fuel lines that can crack and spill gasoline, which causes the fire danger.
So far three such incidents have happened, luckily no one has been hurt.
If you've one of the recalled Escapes, dealers will bring a loaner car for during the time whilst yours is being fixed, at no charge.
The Escapes in this new recall were built at the company's Louisville, Kentucky plant between April and July 11, and distributed throughout the US and Canada.
