This recall is a result of previous incomplete repairs for the same issue.
Owners may notice warning signs such as dashboard lights or fuel gauge irregularities before a stall occurs.
Ford will provide the necessary update at no cost to affected Focus owners through Ford or Lincoln dealers, with notifications set to be sent out between July 6 and July 10, 2026.
The fix involves updating the powertrain control module software.
Owners can contact Ford’s customer service line or check the NHTSA website for more information.
