Ford is recalling nearly 485,000 Escapes and Mavericks to fix sticking gas pedals that can cause crashes.

The worldwide recall affects the 2001 through 2004 model years that are powered by 3-liter V-6 engines with cruise control.

The recall comes a little more than a week after U.S. safety regulators began investigating the small SUVs which are called Mavericks in Europe.
