Ford Recalls Nearly 770,000 Diesel Vehicles Over Emissions Issues

Faulty particulate filters in Euro-6 diesel engines lead to global recall, with over 164,000 vehicles in Germany affected.

Ford is recalling approximately 769,000 diesel vehicles worldwide due to issues with their emissions systems, including models from 2014 to 2020.
The recall affects a wide range of vehicles, including the Fiesta, Focus, Galaxy, Mondeo, Kuga, and several other models across passenger and commercial categories.
The issue stems from increased particulate emissions over time, with some vehicles failing emissions tests under a new, more precise measurement method introduced in 2023.
Ford plans to recalibrate the software for diesel particulate filter regeneration and replace faulty filters where necessary, with affected owners to be notified by the end of 2024.
The company has extended the warranty on diesel particulate filters to 10 years or 160,000 kilometers and has set up a hotline for customer inquiries.
