FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE

Manufacturer
Ford Motor Company
What Happened
The fuel tank in your Focus is the part that stores gasoline. In some 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2017 models, the computer that controls the fuel system wasn't updated properly. This can cause a problem with the canister that helps manage fuel vapors.
Risk if Unfixed
If the canister malfunctions, your engine could stall while driving without warning. You might lose power steering and brakes, making it hard to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will update the computer system controlling your fuel tank, and also check for any faulty parts. If needed, they'll replace the faulty canister, fuel tank, and other parts — all at no cost to you.
