• Fitment issues from a damaged or incorrect replacement converter

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is a 2013-2019 Ford Escape with the correct emissions configuration before ordering. This converter uses welded inlet and outlet connections and includes two O2 sensor ports, so sensor placement and exhaust alignment should be checked during installation. Confirm the front position and compare the existing exhaust layout to the part number 30618 before beginning service.
