Ford Recalls 255,404 Focuses That Could Unexpectedly Stall

Ford recalls 255,404 Focus sedans and hatchbacks from 2012 to 2018 for unexpected engine stalling due to a Cannister Purge Valve fault. The Powertrain Control Module fails to detect the issue when the valve stays open during evaporative leak checks. Owners must visit a dealership for PCM software update; those who paid for prior fixes may receive reimbursement.
