FORD RECALLS 1.5 MILLION FORD FOCUS CARS THAT COULD STALL WITH FUEL TANK PROBLEM
Ford is recalling 1.46 million cars in North America to fix an auto defect that could potentially lead to stalling.
This recall affects the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 Ford Focus models with 2-liter GDI and 2-liter GDTI engines. If you currently drive any of these models, it is encouraged that you keep your fuel tank at least half full until your car is fixed.
How does this happen?
This issue originates from a “defective canister purge valve that could become stuck in an open position, causing deformation of the fuel tank.”
What happens when the defective purge valve becomes stuck?
This could cause your vehicle to stall and either not restart at all, or have difficulty restarting. Owners may also notice an indicator light or the fuel gauge displaying inaccurate levels.
What should you do?
