Each campaign in detail

  1. Recall of the fuel lines (1.0 EcoBoost 2013-2014)

    Manufacturer recall

    A recall covered 1.0 EcoBoost EcoSports produced between February 2013 and February 2014: the anti-corrosion coating on the fuel vapour lines did not comply, creating a risk of leaks. The lines must be replaced with modified parts. L'Argus notes that few vehicles are affected; Ford Austria had only 3. Check the work with the serial number at a Ford dealership.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

Official notices published in France (RappelConso)

Notices from the French consumer authority (DGCCRF) linked to this model, collected on 29 October 2026.

  • 4 May 2021 — En raison d’un problème de fabrication, l’amplificateur de frein peut être assemblé avec trop de pression appliquée à la plaque de diaphragme. En conséquence, la plaque de diaphragme peut se fissurer, provoquant la séparation de la membrane interne. Cela entraînera une perte soudaine des performances de freinage, augmentant le risque d’accident.
