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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 9/8/2017, MY POWER STEERING GAVE OUT, NO WARNING AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD AND IT MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE CAR.

MY COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE POWER STEERING GEAR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN MY 2012 FORD FOCUS. THE POWER STEERING WOULD FAIL WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING WHICH PUT ME INTO A COUPLE VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHILE DRIVING. I AM REQUESTING A RECALL BY FORD OF THE POWER STEERING GEAR.
Steering, Sep 8, 2017
I STARTED MY CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I WAS ALERTED TO THE MESSAGE "STEERING ASSIST FAULT, SERVICE REQUIRED" AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, IT WAS VERY HARD TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. I'LL HAVE TO PAY A HEFTY $1000-$2000 FOR THIS REPAIR. FORD SHOULD DEFINITELY RECALL THE STEERING ISSUE IN THE FORD FOCUS AS THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. IT IS SO UNFAIR TO HAVE CUSTOMERS PAY THIS OUT OF POCKET WHEN CLEARLY IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NOT AT ALL CAUSED BY THE ACTIONS OF THE DRIVER. MY 2012 FORD FOCUS HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM IN THE 2 YEARS I HAVE HAD IT. SO FRUSTRATED AND UNHAPPY WITH THIS CAR.
Steering, Sep 7, 2017
THE POWER STEERING JUST QUITS WORKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVE. WE HAD TO PARK THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT JUST ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE, WE ARE EITHER GOING TO GET INTO A HEAD ON COLLISION OR DRIVE OFF THE ROAD IF WE DRIVE IT LIKE THIS. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND FORD WON'T FIX IT SINCE IT IS PAST WARRANTY, WE ONLY HAVE 45,000 MILE ON THIS CAR, IT SHOULD BE SAFER THAN THIS.

WHILST IN MOTION AND ON A CITY STREET, I COULD NO LONGER CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY VEHICLE. IT RESISTED MY CONTROL LIKE IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN, AND I HAD TO USE EXTREME FORCE TO GET IT TO TURN WHERE I WANTED IT TO AND PULL OVER. SEEMED TO DRIFT EVEN WHEN GOING STRAIGHT. WARNING LIGHT THEN APPEARED ON SCREEN THAT SAID SOMETHING LIKE "STEERING ASSIST MALFUNCTION". THIS MALFUNCTION CAN OCCUR AT ANY MOMENT, AND NOTHING IN PARTICULAR SEEMED TO TRIGGER IT. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THIS IS A PROBLEM MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD WITH POWER STEERING AND HAS PUT MANY IN DANGER.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON RIGHT AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. KEPT SHUTTING CAR DOWN AND RESTARTING BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE PREVIOUS DAY WHILE ON THE FREEWAY IN COMMUTER TRAFFIC DAY THE ONGOING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT 2 DIFFERENT LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTERS WORKED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE 1ST TIME I WAS TOLD THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE FOLLOWING TIMES THEY REPLACE A COMPETENT AND RE-PROGRAMED IT. AS SOON AS I LEFT THE SERVICE CENTER I COULD TELL NOTHING WAS DONE. I CALLED THE SERVICE REP BACK AND HE SAID IT WAS "ADAPTIVE" AND I NEEDED TO ALLOW IT TIME TO ADAPT. I WAS TOLD I HAD A CRACKED MOTOR MOUNT. I TOLD HIM IT HAD TO BE CAUSED BY THE VIOLENT JERKING OF THE TRANSMISSION WHEN ACCELERATING REGARDLESS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. IN STOP AND GO CITY TRAFFIC I HAVE BEEN CLOSE SEVERAL TIMES TO BEING REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF ITS JERKING /HESITATION/ACCELERATION. TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD NOT MOVE THE WHEEL. VEHICLE FINALLY TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN COVERING THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS BUT WAS TOLD THE SAFETY PROBLEM ON THE STEERING WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I'M TOLD TO FORK OVER 2K + TO FIX THE STEERING BEFORE THEY WOULD ATTEMPT SERVICING THE TRANSMISSION. FORD KNOWS THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING AND TRANSMISSION BUT FAIL TO CORRECT THEM. THE STEERING HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED ABOUT GOING OUT ON DRIVERS AT HIGH RATE OF SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY. FORD IS INTENTIONALLY RISKING THE LIVES OF FOCUS OWNERS AND PASSENGERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO CORRECT NOW BY IMMEDIATE RECALL. IT'S OBVIOUS THEY GAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CORRECT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

I THEN HEAR A THUD AS I COME TO A LIGHT, 30 SECONDS LATER I SEE SMOKE. I PULL INTO THE PARKING LOT AND SEE LOTS OF SMOKE AND SOME FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD. I TURN OFF THE CAR AND THE WIPERS KEEP GOING. I GET OUT AND CALL 911 AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES MY CAR IS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF OUR GARAGE I NOTICED A STRANGE NOISE WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SAME NOISE OCCURRED WHEN I HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO ENTER THE GARAGE.( MAKES THE NOISE EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT NOW.) I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC FRIEND CHECK IT AND HE SAID TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND TO DRIVE IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. THE NEAREST DEALER IS 20+ MILES AWAY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HERE IS THE DIAGNOSES: FOUND THAT THE NOISE IS INTERNAL TO THE EPAS GEAR. STEERING GEAR REPLACEMENT AND ALIGNMENT $1596.49 INSTALLED PLUS TAX. I HAD TO PAY A $95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIND THIS OUT. THE CAR HAS 61094 MILES ON IT, SO IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE FORD FOCUS HAS NOT HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. MANY OTHER FORD MODELS WITH THE SAME STEERING MECHANISM HAVE BEEN RECALLED, WHY NOT THIS ONE! SO NOW IT IS SITTING IN THE GARAGE WAITING ON THE PART TO COME IN SO I CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT, HOPEFULLY FIXED TO BE SAFE. HOPING FOR A RECALL TO GET MY MONEY BACK.
