Common problems with the Ford Focus

Some problems will only occur after many years of operation, others are related to technical solutions and forced the manufacturer to issue a recall. In the following overview, you will find the most common problems for the Ford Focus, for which Ford has announced a recall through the EU Rapex system.

The good news is that automakers usually provide unlimited time to correct such defects for free. Check to see if all of the potential problems with your Ford Focus have been resolved in the past. How to do it, we give advice on a special page.
