January 2025 Vehicle experienced verified oil belt tensioner failure as the same in the recall #23564 My VIN is not in the recall list even though it is the same make model and year of the effected vehicles. The reason I believe it is not on the recall list is due to that they only included automatic transmissions and not the vin's of manual transmission. I have a manual transmission and so my VIN reflects a manual transmission. The transmission has nothing to do with the oil belt tensioner in this case as the motor/oil belt tensioners are the same design. I am requesting for an expedited review of this information to get all manual transmissions added onto the recall list which I've been told by Ford that only you can add vehicles to that list.

Car has loss of power, loss of power brakes, low engine oil pressure. Current recall 23S64 does not cover my vin but my car is experiencing the same issues. My car is in the same date range and has the same engine. Car was diagnosed with bad oil pump/belt. I have contacted Ford multiple times about having my car included in recall with no resolution.

- Utopia, TX, USA

I started driving and the car seemed to act rough. I went up a small hill and I had almost no power halfway up. The car showed the symbol of the little car that looks like it is sliding. I had to chug up the rest of the hill fighting the car itself because there was no where else to go. It kept revving but went no more than about ten mph. Once I got over the top I pulled into someone's driveway so I could get back home. I was unable to reverse. The car just revved. I had to turn off the car, put it in neutral, and push the car backwards out of the driveway. I was able to start the car and nurse it home, but it jumped and revved the entire time. I tried to use down hills to my advantage and barely paused at stop signs for fear of getting stuck on the road. I got to my house and parked. Now the car only starts when it wants to. I checked codes and got P287A for the clutch. I haven't called Ford for service options yet because I really don't know what to do and have no idea how I'd get there. I think this car should have been included in the powertrain recall because this came out of nowhere.

I was driving on I-90 at speed when the engine red warning light came on and the engine lost power and started making a lot of noise. I had to pull off on the shoulder of the interstate and shut down engine. Waited for 5 minutes and restarted engine but the warning light remained on. Fortunately, I was near an exit and limped to my maintenance provider. Their diagnosis was that the oil pump had failed and it was providing no oil pressure at all. They also said that there was an existing recall #23V905000 that pertained to this failure of the oil pump. I then contacted Ford and was told that my VIN number was not linked to the recall number because my car has a manual transmission. It is obvious that the recall is due to an engine oil pump failure and that has absolutely nothing to do with either a manual or automatic transmission.

Dear NHTSA Recall Division, I am writing to bring to your attention a safety and performance issue related to a potential defect in the EVAP canister purge valve of my 2017 ford focus, which may be linked to the previously issued recall for this component. The EVAP canister purge valve in my vehicle has become stuck in the open position, resulting in the engine burning an excessive amount of fuel. This has led to an overly rich fuel mixture, which has placed significant strain on the vehicle's catalytic converter. As a result, the converter is showing signs of damage, including clogging, rough idle, and potential stalling Given the severity of this issue, I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate the potential consequences of this defect and determine if the damage to the catalytic converter-?"stemming from the malfunctioning purge valve-?"should be addressed through an expanded recall. The defect appears to not only affect engine performance but could also present long-term risks to vehicle safety, including the possibility of unexpected stalling while driving. I respectfully ask for guidance on the appropriate steps to take in order to address this matter, including whether additional recalls or safety measures will be initiated to cover the catalytic converter damage caused by the faulty EVAP canister purge valve. Additionally, I would appreciate any further instructions on how to proceed with obtaining repairs or replacements for the defective parts. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and assistance in ensuring the safety and performance of affected vehicles.

My check engine light came on. I stopped at Auto Zone and had the check engine light read. The code came back as P1450 (Canister Purge Valve). Upon checking the Ford Website to run my VIN for recalls, nothing came back for my vehicle. I checked NHTSA and learned there have been 6 recalls, and 2 of those 6 seem to fit the issue I am having. However, since my VIN was not identified as one of the affect VINs, I am not able to take advantage of either recall, Ford's number for this recall is 18S32 and 19S22.
