What Happened
The oil pump drive belt and tensioner in your Ford Focus or EcoSport help keep your engine lubricated. In some 2016-2022 models, these parts could fail, causing your engine to run dry.
Risk if Unfixed
If the oil pump drive belt or tensioner fails, your engine could stall, and you'll lose power steering and power brakes. This could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the chance of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will replace the oil pump tensioner assembly and oil pump drive belt with new, reliable parts – for free. If your engine has already failed due to a faulty oil pump belt and/or tensioner, they'll replace the engine assembly as a temporary fix until the final repair parts arrive, also at no cost to you.
