Consumer Description

WHILE IN MOTION, ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAILING CATALYTIC CONVERTER - POSSIBLY DUE TO CONTAMINATION. FORD FOCUS HAD RECEIVED AN EVAP PURGE VALVE RELATED RECALL JUST A FEW DAYS EARLIER WHICH STILL NEEDED TO BE COMPLETED. THE RECALL REPLACED COMPONENTS AS PER GUIDANCE BUT DID NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH LIKELY FAILED AS A RESULT OF A FAILURE LINKED TO THE PRIOR RECALL (EVAP PURGE VALVE). MANY SIMILAR CASES ARE TO BE FOUND IN FORUMS ONLINE.
