    Not necessarily DPF but GPF

    It's clogged

    Go for a long drive and hold the revs above 4,500 RPM for a while, normally 3rd gear 65+MPH

    Official advice in the handbook is dealer visit.

    There's quite a lot of info on gpf on this thread, including forced regen and software updates by Ford dealer, different "drive to clear" techniques**, different fuels etc. (**Some posters comment that it might take more than one drive)

    Some additive makers (eg Forte) claim their products will help:
