- 1.6 EcoBoost Overheating and Head Cracking (Recall 17S09)Serious
Localized overheating can cause the cylinder head to crack, leading to a pressurized coolant leak and potential engine fire. A global recall retrofitted a coolant level sensor and software warnings.
- Powershift Transmission FailureSerious
Juddering and mechatronic failure on the 2.0 TDCI automatic models.
- 1.0/1.5 EcoBoost Wet Belt DegradationSerious
