Ford Focus C Max: Engine May Fail
Ford Focus C-Max Recall Summary Ford is recalling 167 Focus C-Max vehicles in the United Kingdom because certain engines have misaligned oil feed holes that can reduce oil flow to the camshaft bearings. This misalignment can cause premature wear of the bearings and potentially lead to engine seizure without warning. Dealers will inspect affected vehicles and replace the engine if it matches the specific build code range.
