Is P0106 a known problem on Ford vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 17 manufacturer filings and 3 owner reports naming P0106 on 7 Ford model years (2016–2021). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2021 Escape (4 documents), 2020 Escape (4 documents), 2021 F-250 Super Duty (3 documents).

Does P0106 on a Ford mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
