• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford exhaust heat shield, the stamped metal panel that reflects and blocks heat radiating from the rear muffler away from the floor pan and underbody components. Cataloged by Ford as a heat shield, it protects the vehicle floor, fuel and brake lines, and surrounding parts from the high temperatures generated by the exhaust system while helping keep cabin heat down. It fits the 20-23 Escape with the 1.5L and 2.0L engines in the configuration without the trailer package. Owners look for this shield when the original has rusted through, cracked, worked loose, or begun to rattle against the muffler or floor from failed fasteners or fatigued mounting tabs. Because it is a thin stamped panel mounted in a hot, corrosive underbody environment, it is prone to rust, vibration cracking, and loosening over time. A missing or damaged shield can allow excessive heat transfer to the floor pan and create annoying rattles and buzzes at idle and on the road. As a genuine Ford part it is stamped to the correct contour with factory mounting points so it fits flush without contacting the exhaust. Installing the correct shield restores proper heat protection and eliminates rattles. Confirm engine and body configuration against your vehicle before ordering.
