Some 2020 Escape Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) built on or before 6-Oct-2020 may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P1A0C stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) and exhibit a Stop Safely Now message in the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This may be due to the software in the PCM. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM.
