What is this? This is a warning about some Ford Focus cars. A repair job done before may have hurt the engine wires.

What's happening? The wires near the gearbox might get damaged. This could make the engine lose power or stop while driving.

Does this affect me? If you own a Focus made around the recall time, you might be at risk. This affects cars in Germany, Bulgaria, and other listed countries.

What should I do? Take your car to a Ford dealer right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic to check the engine wires.
