Ford is recalling about 245,000 Escape SUVs from the 2001-2001 model years.
The company said brake fluid could leak from the master cylinder and come into contact with the wiring harness, which could start a fire.
Dealers will replace the master cylinder reservoir cap and modify the ABS system.
Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.
