Ford is recalling approximately 433,000 cars in North America because of a glitch that may allow the engine to run after turning the ignition key to the “off” position and removing the key, or after pressing the Engine Start/Stop button.

The Blue Oval issued a statement saying that it’s not aware of “any accidents or injuries associated with this issue”.

According to Ford, these are the vehicles that may be affected by this problem:

”Certain 2015 Focus vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant from June 17, 2014, through June 12, 2015; certain 2015 C-MAX vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant from April 22, 2014, through June 12, 2015; and certain 2015 Escape vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant from April 1, 2014, through June 12, 2015.”

From the 432,096 vehicles recalled in North America, 374,781 are in the United States and federalized territories, 52,180 in Canada and 5,135 in Mexico.

The automaker said it will fix the problem by updating the body control module software at no cost to the customer.
