DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling nearly 1.5 million Focus compact cars in North America because a fuel system problem can cause the engines to stall without warning.

The recall covers cars from the 2012 through 2018 model years with 2-liter four-cylinder engines.

Ford says a valve in the fuel system can stick in the open position, causing too much vacuum, and an engine control computer may not detect the problem. Excessive vacuum can cause the gas tank to deform, as well as other problems.

The recall came after the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration presented owner complaints to Ford. About 1.3 million of the recalled vehicles are in the U.S.

Dealers will reprogram the computer with new software that will detect a stuck valve, which the company says will take care of the problem in most cases. They'll also inspect the valve, a carbon canister and gas tank and replace them if needed.

Ford says owners should keep the gas tank at least half full until repairs are made.

The company says it's not aware of any crashes or injuries caused by the problem.

The recall is expected to begin on Dec. 10.

and here is why we suffer so much....it is called non-disclosures....."It's a very interesting article but the reason those families haven't help you (Utility Trailers) is they all signed confidentially agreements, that's pretty obvious if you read the article. Goodyear has DEMANDED confidentially in every settlement. Secret settlements should be illegal at the State And Federal level but they are not, that's because no STATES have passed laws appropriate legislation that bans them. When they affect health and safety, They Should Be ILLEGAL

but nobody is recalling homemade trailers..and Utility Trailers ....Passenger cars that tow trailers...over 27,000 dead since 1975 http://www.dangeroustrailers.org/woman-killed-in-saturday-crash-on-ohio-159-cut-in-half-bucked-in-her-car-by-a--homemade--trailer.....governor-of-ohio-why-are-people-towing-homemade-trailers-on-a-public-road--.html


HMMMMMMM.....Ford issues recall on this...but nobody issues a recall on All Homemade Trailers? 

I wounder why?  How many Ford cars have killed anybody due to the engine cutting off?


Since 1975 over 27,000 dead by a passenger vehicle that is towing a trailer and no recalls?

Over 100 people have died by Goodyear Tire G159 and they paid off everybody?  No recalls? 

why?
