## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2015\-2018 Focus and 2013\-2016 Fusion vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall numbers 18V169 and 18V845. The clutch may fracture, resulting in damage to the transmission assembly and possibly a transmission fluid leak.


## What can happen

A transmission fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components can increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Additionally, dealers will inspect Focus vehicles and replace the clutch assembly as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed August 5, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S43.
