2014 FORD FOCUS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 Ford Focus has 9 recalls, the most serious being multiple issues that can cause the engine to stall without warning while driving, raising the risk of a crash. Several of these stall risks stem from different parts of the fuel system: a malfunctioning canister purge valve can create excessive vacuum that cuts engine power and prevents a restart, a cracked fuel delivery module can drop fuel pressure to the point the engine stumbles or won't start, and a failing fuel pump can kill power without warning. A wiring issue on Focus ST models with the 2.0L engine can also send incorrect signals and cause hesitation or stalling. On Focus Electric models, a software problem in the powertrain control module can produce a similar sudden loss of power. Two separate fire risks also exist: an engine block heater on 2.0L-equipped vehicles can crack, leak coolant, and short-circuit when plugged in, and on certain manual transmission models, a transmission fluid leak near hot engine or exhaust components raises the risk of fire. Finally, on hatchback models with a manual transmission, the interior latch release button requires only a single press to pop the hatch open, which could unintentionally leave the rear unsecured with passengers in back.
