**Update
There is some sort of General Service Bulletin regarding the water pump. I can't view it on my phoone, so I'll try posting it later using the PC. It was listed under the 2016 Escapes but not specific to 2.0, I'll have to be able to open the PDF to know for sure. Here's a copy & paste of the heading:
"GSB G0000083 - Effective Feb 25 2016 Multiple Vehicles - Coolant Pump Inspection - General Service Bulletin (GSB)"
