Detailed Description

Part number 52196 is a remanufactured starter from BBB Industries for select Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Ford EcoSport, Ford Fusion, Ford Escape, Lincoln MKZ, and Lincoln MKC. The permanent magnet gear reduction layout is paired with a closed nose cone, 11 pinion teeth, and clockwise rotation to match the listed starting system requirements. The Bosch OE manufacturer reference supports the original equipment application profile for these vehicles, and the unit includes the solenoid and starter drive as part of the assembly.

This starter is listed for Fits 2018-2021 Ford EcoSport, N/A; Fits 2017-2020 Ford Fusion, N/A; Fits 2017-2019 Ford Escape, N/A; Fits 2017-2020 Lincoln MKZ, N/A; and Fits 2017-2019 Lincoln MKC, N/A. It is a practical replacement choice when the original starter no longer engages properly or the starting system needs a remanufactured electrical unit matched to the vehicle's configuration. Part number 52196 is also cross-referenced to 0-001-180-602 and 0-001-180-603 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Engine cranks slowly or inconsistently.
• Starter does not engage when the key or start button is used.
• Electrical starting faults tied to the starter assembly.
• Wear in the original starter drive or solenoid assembly.
• Need for a remanufactured replacement matched to the listed fitment.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle's start/stop configuration and compare the original starter's electrical and mounting details before installation. Confirm clockwise rotation, 12-volt specification, 11-tooth pinion count, and closed nose cone style against the removed unit. Because mounting bolts and shims are not included, reuse or source the correct hardware as needed for the application.

Quality Assurance

BBB Industries remanufactures starting components to OE-style specifications, and this unit references Bosch as the original equipment manufacturer. That combination supports a replacement built around the listed factory application details for the Ford and Lincoln fitments shown.
