Are there any recalls for the Ford Focus ST?
I’m thinking about buying a used Ford Focus ST, but want to make sure I get one from a reliable model year. Are there any recalls for the Ford Focus ST?

It’s always a good idea to do your research before buying a vehicle. The
Ford Focus ST
is generally considered pretty reliable, earning average ratings from reliability experts like J.D. Power and Consumer Reports—however, Ford did issue a few recalls for this sporty little hatchback. Here are the details:- In 2013, Ford Focus STs from 2011 through 2013 equipped with high-intensity headlights were recalled due to faulty wiring.
- In October 2014, Ford recalled Focus STs made between 2012 and 2014 after insufficient engine compression was found to cause the car to occasionally stall out.
- In January 2016, Ford Focus STs manufactured in 2012 and 2013 were recalled due to faulty engine wiring which could cause the vehicle to stutter or stall out, increasing the probability of a crash.
- In July of 2019, Ford Focus STs from the 2013 through the 2017 model years fitted with 2.0-liter GTDI engines were recalled due to an issue with the canister purge valve, which could cause the car to stall while driving.
If you want to check whether your specific vehicle was recalled but not fixed, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) offers a handy recall database on its website. All you need to do is plug in your car’s
VIN
, and you’ll immediately find out if there are any open recalls for your specific vehicle. View full answer
