Ford Focus and Ford EcoSport recall for oil pressure issue

Ford is recalling 139,730 of its 2016-2018 Ford Focus compact cars and 2018-2022 Ford EcoSport SUVs because the oil pump drive belt or drive belt tensioner may fail, resulting in a loss of engine oil pressure. A loss of oil pressure can result in an engine stall and a loss of power braking assist, increasing the risk of a crash, the company said in a report filed with NHTSA.

Ford said dealers will replace the oil pump tensioner assembly and oil pump drive belt, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk are expected to be mailed Feb. 13, 2024. A second notice, expected to be sent in the second quarter of 2024, will be sent once remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

Volvo is recalling 17,409 of its 2024 XC40 SUVs because a diagnostic error in the Central Electronic Module (CEM) software may cause the left rear turn signal indicator to not function.

The CEM software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Feb. 28, 2024. Owners may contact Volvo Car customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo Car's number for this recall is R10256.

Lucid Air recall for heater concern

Lucid is recalling 2,042 of its 2022-2023 Air electric sedans because the high voltage coolant heater (HVCH) may fail to defrost the windshield.

Lucid will update the software to identify a HVCH failure and provide a warning to the driver and HVCHs that fail will be replaced. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 8, 2024. Owners may contact Lucid customer service at 1-888-995-8243. Lucid's number for this recall is SR-24-01-0.
