Ford recalls over 250K Focus models over engine stall risk

Article excerpt

Ford is recalling more than 250,000 Focus models after discovering that a previous recall meant to fix engine stalling problems was performed incorrectly on many vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The faulty repairs left the original defect unresolved, meaning affected cars still face the risk of unexpected engine shutdowns while driving. The recall addresses vehicles that received the botched fix under an earlier campaign to address the stalling issue.
