Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2011-2014 Fiesta, 2013-2014 Fusion, 2015 Mustang, 2013-2015 Escape and C-Max, 2012-2015 Focus, 2014-2016 Transit Connect, 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ, and 2015 MKC vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and repaired under recalls 15V-246, 16V-643 or 17V-210, however the repair may not have been completed properly. A component within the door latches may break making the doors difficult to latch and/or leading the driver or a passenger to believe a door is securely closed when, in fact, it is not.
A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the latch date codes to confirm if the repair was done correctly, and replace the side door latches if necessary, free of charge. Owners will also have the option to inspect their own vehicle's door latches and enter the date codes into a website to determine if the latches are correct. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 27, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S30.

Fuel system, gasoline, storageJul 5, 2019
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2012 and 2017 Focus vehicles equipped with 2.0L GDI gasoline engines and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles equipped with 2.0L GTDI engines, previously recalled under 18V-735. The affected vehicles did not have the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) updated as intended. Therefore, the Canister Purge Valve (CPV) may malfunction, possibly causing excessive vacuum in the fuel vapor management system.
The excessive vacuum may result in an engine stall while driving, without warning and without the ability to restart the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module. Dealers will also check for fault codes and replace the CPV as needed. If the CPV is replaced, dealers will inspect and replace the carbon canister, fuel tank and fuel delivery module as necessary. The recall began July 29, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S22.

Ford is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Focus BEV vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, manufactured September 15, 2011, through May 6, 2013; and model year 2013 Focus ST vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, manufactured February 16, 2012, through May 7, 2013.

EquipmentOct 2, 2012
This recall involves aftermarket parts sold by Yakima Products, Inc. for use on model year 2012 and 2013 Ford Focus vehicles. This recall is being conducted by Yakima, not by Ford. Certain combined Q-Tower and Q128 Clip rooftop rack systems, part numbers 8000124 and 8000728, do not fully contact the door frame.
Without proper contact of the rooftop rack clip to the door frame, there is insufficient clamping pressure and friction. The system may slide off the vehicle when loaded with accessories, possibly becoming a road hazard to other vehicles or causing injury to pedestrians.
Yakima will notify owners, and Yakima or a Yakima dealer will refund the purchase of the Q-Tower and Q-128 Clip system. There is no replacement system available for the 2012-2013 model year Ford Focus. The safety recall began on October 15, 2012. Only vehicles equipped with the vehicle rack system are affected. This recall is being conducted by Yakima, not Ford. Owners may contact Yakima at 1-888-925-4621.

MY 2012 FORD FOCUS HAS REPEATEDLY BEEN IN FOR SERVICE DO THE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AS WELL THE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE, IT HAS SEEN 2 NEW CLUTCHES AS WELL AS 2 TCMS. OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE IT HAS HAD 5 CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS AND 3 TCM REPLACEMENTS. THANKFULLY, THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT FAILED ON ME YET. THIS CAR IS VERY UNRELIABLE AND GIVES ME CONSTANT HEADACHES. MY CAR DEALER IS ABOUT 30 MINUTES AWAY AND EVERY TIME I GO THEIR FOR THEM TO TEST MY TRANSMISSION, IT ALWAYS FAILS. ITS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT I DO, THE CAR ALWAYS WILL SHUDDER. MY 14MO1 WARRANTY HAS NOW RUN OUT SO EVENTUALLY WHEN I NEED A NEW CLUTCH IT WILL COST ME ROUGHLY $2,500. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOW I AM FILING FOR ARBITRATION. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A DEATH TRAP.

INTERMITTENT, NOW CONSTANT EPAS (ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING) FAILURE. MY 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WENT TO EAT WITH FRIENDS AFTER WORK AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO LEAVE TO COME HOME (AFTER MIDNIGHT), SHE FOUND THAT THE EPAS HAD FAILED. SHE DID MANAGE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME SINCE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT, AND LUCKILY, THE EPAS DID NOT FAIL WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WITHOUT THE EPAS WORKING, THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WHILE STATIONARY.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS IN THE CITY I LIVE IN, MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OUT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT MY ENGINE HAD STALLED, BUT THEN I REALIZED THE MOTOR WAS STILL ON. MY FORD FOCUS SUDDENLY LOST IT POWER STEERING FUNCTION WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. (VERY SCARY) AN ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYING (STEERING ASSIST). I DROVE HOME TO SEE IF I COULD READ UP IN THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD SELF DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM. SOME VIDEO INDICATED IT WAS A FUSE. (OTHERS INDICATED COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE) I CHECKED MY FUSES IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE STEERING. THERE ARE OKAY. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED AUTO MECHANIC SHOP TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP ME. THEY COULD NOT, IN FACT THEY WERE CAUGHT AT SURPRISE THAT THIS WAS A NON-FLUID STEERING SYSTEM.(NO OIL REQUIRED) THEY RECOMMENDED I GO TO ANOTHER SHOP, BUT THE RESULTS WERE THE SAME. THE DIAGNOSIS IS REPLACE THE ENTIRE RACK & PINION SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD FOCUS AND FORD FUSION AS WELL AS LINCOLN'S. IF THIS IS IN FACT AN ISSUE WITH FORD VEHICLES PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CAN NOT PROVIDE ANY PHOTOS BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS INTERNAL, UNDER THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR USES TWO PART LUGS THAT SWELL AND DEGRADE OVER TIME, AND SOME POINT, CANNOT BE USED TO HOLD ON A WHEEL THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED. THAT CAN BE A HAZARD, FOR EXAMPLE, IF A PERSON NEEDS TO REPLACE A FLAT TIRE ON A HIGHWAY AND THEN CANNOT REATTACH THE LUG NUTS. I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE LUG NUTS FOR SAFETY REASONS, AND WHILE I COULD FIND ONES THAT FIT THE POST THEY SCREW ON TO, THEY WERE NOR WIDE ENOUGH TO HOLD THE WHEEL COVER.

FIRST OFF, WHEN ACCELERATING, EVEN AFTER THE TRANSMISSION RECALLS WERE "FIXED", WE STILL HAVE VERY BAD JERKING AND SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES IT SOUNDS LIKE A GRINDING SOUND. SECONDLY, THERE IS A CLANKING SOUND THAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DRIVE OVER VERY SMALL BUMPS. IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL HITTING METAL IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE TRUNK THAT COULD BE MAKING THAT NOISE, AND IS HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE CAR ALSO. PROBLEM CANNOT BE LOCATED BY MECHANICS OR MYSELF.
