POWER TRAIN Safety Recalls

Critical #26V376000 Plain English
Component

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Manufacturer
Ford Motor Company
What Happened
The clutch in your manual transmission is a critical part that helps you shift gears smoothly. In some 2015-2018 Focus and 2013-2016 Fusion models, it might be damaged from a previous repair.
Risk if Unfixed
If the clutch breaks, it could cause a transmission fluid leak. If this leak finds a spark from the engine or exhaust, it could ignite and start a fire.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will update the transmission software to prevent this issue, and it's completely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
