They put them in on the 2010 Escapes but by 2013 they quit. I salvaged the ones on the 2010 when I put new brakes on it and gave them to a friend. When we got the 13, there were no plugs so i bought some from my Dexter Dealer in Cedar Rapids. Part number DX 046-007-00 and is called “Plug for adjuster slot”. When I pull the drums to check my brake lining thickness and magnet surfaces before I start camping for the year I carefully with the applicator straw put a little shot of Tri Flow lubricant on the adjuster where it’s threaded together. The lubricant walks down the threads and makes it easier to adjust the brakes during the season if needed or once I get the drum back on and adjust them for our maiden voyage of the year. YMMV
