139.7K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Dec 22, 2023
Safety Issue:

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Ford Focus and 2018-2022 Ford EcoSport vehicles. The oil pump drive belt or drive belt tensioner may fail, resulting in a loss of engine oil pressure.

Potential Risk:
A loss of oil pressure can result in an engine stall and a loss of power braking assist, increasing the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
Dealers will replace the oil pump tensioner assembly and oil pump drive belt, free of charge. If engine failure occurs due to a damaged oil pump belt and/or oil pump belt tensioner, Ford has authorized dealers to replace the engine assembly as an interim repair before the availability of remedy parts for the final repair. This repair will be free of charge (parts and labor). Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed June 20, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated in 4th Quarter 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S64.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

UNKNOWN I was taking my car in for an oil change and to ask about the recall when it died in the middle of a very busy intersection at a red light. Right before the car died the engine light, oil light, and battery light all flashed and dinged. I got towed to ford. NOW HERES THE KICKER they said the problems my car is having is 100% due to the recall as my oil pump was failing, BUT because my engine wasnt getting enough oil it possibly shot my engine. So they told me since the recall was so new and not "official" yet that i had one of two options. 1) leave my car there for god knows how long until the recal is "official" which could take a year 2) pay a ball park of 8000$ to just replace my engine now and have my car back in a few weeks. Now i dont know about you. But i dont have 8000$ just in my back pocket. So as a one car family household we are now without a car. BUT I was also told that if the recall doesn't cover my engine damage or any other damage that these failing parts THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO FUNCTION i have to pay for everything out of pocket. Honestly i am devastated and dont understand how a recall for something so major and important for the car to function isnt being handled more quickly. And the longer you run your car "because the recall said its fine" the more you are damaging your engine. I am out of a vehicle that nothing can be done about as well as i will never have 8000$ to just spare...

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

In Jan 2024 my car started running rough. In Feb 2024 I was mailed the 23V-905 recall notice. Late Feb I had the oil changed in my car. This didn't help the rough running. Mar 4 2024 a warning came on indicating "low engine oil pressure". I took it back to the oil change shop, who looked at everything, showed me it had a safe oil level...it was not dripping oil on my driveway. I was then told about the recall notice and to have it diagnosed at a dealership. Every dealer I called advised it an advance notice only, it's okay to drive my car, until parts are available - In July. I called Ford who gave me a service ticket CAS48387851. My dealership did a diagnosis and said there is metal in the oil with coes P0012, Intake camshaft position timing over re-tarded P0014, low or contaminated oil P0299, Turbo under boost condition P0303, cylinder 3 misfire detected P0316, Engine misfire Detected on start up P0340, camshaft position sensor A circuit P0344." They said I need my engine replaced for $7266.XX - and that this isn't recall related. I need NHTSA to upgrade the Ford recall to expedite repairs. There are many people without use of their vehicles, still making payments, and no replacement car due to Ford's inadequate response to a problem known since Feb 2022 when Critical Concern Reviewed the oil pump issue. Thank you

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

I live in Texas. Our daughter's car is inoperable due to recall from Ford and we have tried to contact ford customer relations and keep getting passed from person to person. The parts are unavailable and they don’t have a definite timeline. The dealership is also unable to get a response from Ford. I have also mailed a formal letter. The car has been inoperable since January 26, 2024. What can I do to get Ford to respond and provide a recall refund? They are unable to remedy in a timely manner and we cannot continue with the hardships from not having a vehicle for work, which requires travel.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

My engine had blown under warranty. They had replaced the engine, which took two weeks once I got my car back, about a week or two later, check engine, lights and warnings pops back on. I return to Ford to assess the problem and they reassured me that the warnings were just because they replaced the engine and they should disappear shortly. Two weeks have gone by and the warnings were still there and my car had started driving awkwardly again. I returned to forward to get my car, repaired under warranty and receive a loaner vehicle to remain doing my every day job with. They did not have any loaner cars and did not have availability to work on my vehicle for three months. They called me with availability. My warranty was up and they were unable to fix my engine since I have lost the house I was living in. Became homeless. And now I’ve got myself back in a house and working to get my car repaired. This is caused a lot of damage for me and my family as we have still been unable to get the car repaired and it has been almost 4 years since I took my car into ford for the repair. Now that it is recalled, they still do not have a solution, and they will not allow me to return the car to them for a loaner car until they do fix the vehicle.
