POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Manufacturer
Ford Motor Company
What Happened
The clutch in your manual transmission is like a strong, wearable piece that connects and disconnects the engine from the wheels. In some 2015-2018 Focus and 2013-2016 Fusion models, it might have been repaired incorrectly in a previous recall.
Risk if Unfixed
If the clutch breaks, it could cause a leak of transmission fluid, which could catch fire if it gets too close to the hot engine or exhaust parts in your vehicle.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will update the software to prevent this issue, and the repair is free of charge.
