How this compares

Each register is compared on its own with the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for; the registers are never combined into one score. Its 29 EU Safety Gate campaigns are more than the median of 17 for this set. Its 56 KBA campaigns are more than the median of 34.

Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.

Confirm the recall status of the actual car

Match the campaign’s production dates to the car, then ask the manufacturer or an authorised dealer to check its VIN and confirm whether the repair is complete. A model-level list cannot establish that.

Check one specific Ford Focus before you buy

A recall list is model-level. Enter this car’s VIN to see its decoded details, any available mileage records and clear next steps for checking recall status.
