Ford Offers New Fuel Module for Focus Models |
|||
|
Ford wants owners of about 671,000 Focus compact sedans to bring their cars into dealerships for replacement of a component that's been linked to a chronic engine stalling problem. Affected are Focus models from the 2000 and 2001 model years. Embarassingly, the cars have already undergone 10 recalls for various safety problems. The current program is not a federally-mandated recall but is intended to clear up a growing backlog of customer complaints. Rather, the company calls it a "product improvement program." Ford says the sputtering engines are plagued by a dirt and sludge buildup in a fuel delivery module. The part was designed in Europe and will be replaced with a newer model that Ford thinks will deliver a better service record. A Ford spokesman said the real culprit is "the variability and unpredictability of the gasoline-petrol standards in North America." Customers affected by the engine problem will get an extended 10-year vehicle warranty on the fuel replacement part. Newer models aren't affected. |
