What This Recall Means

Component

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS

What Happened
Your Focus has a critical component called the wheel bearing, which is like a ball joint that connects the wheel to the hub. In areas where roads are salted in winter, the bearing's seal can corrode, letting dirt and water in.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seal fails, the wheel bearings can wear out faster, causing a loud noise. If not fixed, the wheel might start to wobble, which can make driving hazardous.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will replace the wheel bearings with new ones and add extra seals to ensure a smooth ride – all at no cost to you. Even if you've already had this issue addressed, they'll still do the extra work to keep your bearings in top shape.
