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. Due to a wiring incompatability, the front side marker lamps may not function. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Without the proper illumination of the side maker lamps, the vehicle may be less visible in night time conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will modify the headlamp assembly wiring, free of charge. The recall began on August 16, 2013. Owners may contact the Ford customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's recall number is 13C04.

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.

FAULTY DOOR LATCH. FORD WILL NOT HONOR ITS OWN RECALL NOTICE PUBLISHED IN NEWS PAPERS THROUGHOUT US. COST FOR REPLACE IS OVER $500. DOOR LATCHES HAVE FAILED WHILE DRIVING. MY LATCH FAILED WHILE IN PARK, BUT DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. FROM ABC NEWS ARTICLE "FORD IS RECALLING ABOUT 830,000 VEHICLES IN THE U.S. AND MEXICO BECAUSE PARTS IN THE SIDE DOOR LATCHES CAN BREAK AND THE DOORS CAN OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLES ARE MOVING. THE RECALL ANNOUNCED THURSDAY COVERS CERTAIN 2013 TO 2015 FORD ESCAPE SUVS AND C-MAX CARS, AND 2012 TO 2015 FOCUS CARS. ALSO INCLUDED ARE 2014 TO 2016 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT VANS, AND FORD MUSTANG SPORTS CARS AND LINCOLN MKC SUVS FROM 2015." FORD SAYS A FAULTY SPRING PART CAN BREAK, STOPPING THE DOORS FROM LATCHING. THE COMPANY SAYS THE RATE OF PROBLEMS IS HIGHER IN STATES WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES AND SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE, SO THE RECALL IS FOCUSED ON ALL OF MEXICO AND 16 STATES MAINLY IN THE SOUTH AND WEST. STATES INCLUDED ARE ALABAMA, ARKANSAS, ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, NEW MEXICO, NEVADA, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS, UTAH, OREGON AND WASHINGTON. DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL LATCHES IN THE RECALL STATES AND MEXICO. IN OTHER STATES THEY WILL REPLACE THE LATCHES IF THEY BREAK. THE COMPANY SAYS IT KNOWS OF ONE CRASH AND ONE INJURY THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE PROBLEM. THE RECALL WILL COST FORD ABOUT $270 MILLION, AND THAT FIGURE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S THIRD-QUARTER PRETAX RESULTS, FORD SAID IN A FILING WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. DOOR LATCHES HAVE BEEN PROBLEMATIC FOR FORD DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS. IN MAY OF 2015 THE COMPANY HAD TO RECALL 692,000 SMALL AND MIDSIZE CARS FOR A SIMILAR LATCH PROBLEM. AT THE TIME, THE U.S. NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WARNED OWNERS OF THE CARS TO GET THEM REPAIRED AS SOON AS THEY GET A NOTICE FROM FORD."

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET TRAVELLING 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO STALL. I HIT THE GAS AND MY CAR JERKED AND STALLED AGAIN. THEN MY CAR READ A MESSAGE THAT SAID "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW." ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION, I PARKED MY CAR AND IT MADE SOME FUNNY SOUND ALMOST LIKE A CLUNKING NOISE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT AND HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE THIRD TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR AND BEEN SCARED OUT OF MY MIND DUE TO MY CAR STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING.

THE FRONT DRIVER-SIDE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT ENGAGE. I MADE SURE THE LATCH IS NOT CLOSED SHUT BEFORE CLOSING THE DOOR. THE DOOR LATCH BAR ATTACHED TO THE CAR GOES INSIDE THE OPEN LATCH SEAMLESSLY, HOWEVER THE LATCH WILL NOT HOLD. THE ONLY WORKAROUND I HAVE FOUND IS TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED, LOCK THE CAR, THEN PUSH THE DOOR OPEN AND SHUT IT AGAIN. ONLY THEN WILL THE LATCH ENGAGE. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I WAS DRIVING FROM A RESTAURANT AND THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT CAME ON, THE VEHICLE MAP SAID IT WAS MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I TRIED TO CLOSE IT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, NO LUCK, UNTIL I CAME ACROSS THE WORKAROUND MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY.

I PURCHASED A USED 2012 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK IN OCTOBER 2012 THAT HAD 29,000 MILE ON IT AT THE TIME. I DROVE THE VEHICLE UP TO 39,000 AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED AS I WAS INITIATING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT ERROR MESSAGE. THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THAT POINT, AND I WAS OUT 2,000$ IN REPAIRS. I HAVE SEEN THAT FORD HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, JUST NOT THE 2012 FOCUS YET. IN OCTOBER 2014, I FOUND THE HARD STUTTERING UPON ACCELERATING AND THEN I RECEIVED MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE. A NEW TCM WAS INSTALLED, REPROGRAMMED, ALONG WITH A NEW CLUTCH. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED AND I HAD TO BRING IT BACK IN FOR REPAIRS. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER THAT I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH AND THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION, SERVICE NOW ERROR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TCM AGAIN AND REPROGRAMMED. IN AUGUST 2016, THE CAR IS NOW AT AROUND 65,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHEN I RECEIVED THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION, SERVICE NOW ERROR. I JUST GOT THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY, THE 4TH TIME, WITH A NEW TCM THAT HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE, AND FORD IS AWARE. THE TECHNICIANS I HAVE DEALT WITH ALL KNOW THE EXACT ISSUE BEFORE I EXPLAIN IT TO THEM. I ASKED FOR A COMPLAINT LINE, OR ANY OPTIONS FOR CONSUMERS IN MY POSITION AND WAS TOLD BY BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HOT LINE THAT THERE ARE NONE. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY KNEW THEY WERE HANDING ME AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, AND HE SHOOK HIS HEAD THEN STATED HE WISHED THERE WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD DO BUT I AM OUT OF LUCK.
