{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2018665","date":"2018-12-03","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Powertrain","summary":"On certain vehicles equipped with a 1.0 L GTDI engine and 6-speed manual transmission, repeated high energy clutch slip can lead to premature clutch lining wear, reducing the mechanical properties of pressure plate material. Prolonged use, with a slipping clutch, could result in pressure plate fracture, which could cause breach of the clutch cover and transmission housing, potentially leading to a transmission fluid leak.  A transmission fluid leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could increase the risk of a fire. Correction: Dealers will evaluate the clutch for wear and replace as needed and will install updated software that will detect and prevent prolonged clutch slip. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2018-129.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"18S07","part_number":null,"units":134,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Groupe motopropulseur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules munis d'un moteur 1,0 L GTDI et d'une boîte de vitesses manuelle à 6 rapports, un glissement répété à haute énergie de l'embrayage pourrait causer une usure prématurée de la garniture de l'embrayage, ce qui diminuerait les propriétés mécaniques du plateau de pression. Une utilisation prolongée d'un véhicule muni d'un embrayage qui glisse pourrait causer la fracture du plateau de pression, ce qui pourrait fissurer le couvercle d'embrayage et le carter de la boîte de vitesses, ce qui pourrait causer une fuite de liquide de la boîte de vitesses. Une fuite de liquide de transmission, en présence d'une source d'inflammation, pourrait augmenter les risques d'incendie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront évaluer l'usure de l'embrayage et remplacer l'embrayage au besoin; de plus, ils devront installer un logiciel à jour qui détectera les glissements d'embrayage et les empêchera de durer trop longtemps. Remarque : Le présent rappel s’ajoute au rappel 2018-129."},"vehicles":[{"year":2016,"make":"FORD","model":"FOCUS","vehicle_id":"2016_ford_focus","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2017,"make":"FORD","model":"FOCUS","vehicle_id":"2017_ford_focus","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2018,"make":"FORD","model":"FOCUS","vehicle_id":"2018_ford_focus","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2018665"}
