SQUEAKING NOISE FROM CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER

FORD:

2001-2004 Escape

ISSUE

Some 2001-2004 Escape vehicles may exhibit a squeaking noise from the clutch master cylinder as the clutch pedal is depressed or released. This noise is typically only present in ambient temperatures of 70° F (21° C) or higher. This condition may be caused by the design of the master cylinder seal.

ACTION

Install an updated master cylinder containing a seal with an improved design. Replace the master cylinder following the procedure in Workshop Manual, Section 308-02.
