Ford is recalling about 160,000 Focus ST hatchbacks and Escape crossovers from the 2013-14 model years because the turbocharged, 2-litre 4-cylinder engine may lose power or stall.

 The action includes about 133,000 vehicles in the United States and 25,000 in Canada.

The connections for the engine wiring harness may have been “insufficiently compressed,” Kelli Felker, a spokeswoman for Ford, said in an email. The defect could lead to drivability problems, including the engine stalling without warning. The automaker was not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the problem.
