What's happening? If that connection gets loose, it could cause sparks or even a fire inside the car.

Does this affect me? Owners of affected Ford Fiesta MHEV or Puma cars in France should check if their car is part of this issue.

What should I do? Take your car to a Ford dealer right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic about the fix.
