Ford Engines at Risk: Timing Belt Crisis | Texas News
Description
NHTSA is investigating a serious safety risk in over 135,000 Ford Fiesta, Focus, and EcoSport models from 2014–2021 — their 1.0L turbo three-cylinder engines can degrade, sending debris into the oil pump and causing catastrophic engine failure. Drivers report warning lights followed by sudden power loss or complete shutdowns, with some repairs costing thousands. The agency has escalated to engineering analysis before potential recall; Ford offers reimbursements for past repairs, but coverage details remain unclear.
