This article supersedes TSB 20-2366 to update the production fix date. Some 2020 Escape front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles equipped with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine and an 8F24 transmission built on 09-Jun-2020 and through 17-Dec-2020 may exhibit a harsh engagement into DRIVE and/or harsh 6-5 or 4-3 downshifts. This may be due to various strategies within the powertrain control module (PCM) software. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM.
