This their reason being 'in their words'. There is a sprocket recall on your car and it makes sense to do it all in one day,, fine I said, would that be next week??? Errr no we are having trouble sourcing the parts at the moment, but will be in touch as soon as we get them. So I ask would that be a few weeks or a month, their reply we can't honestly say!!!! Oh ok I say, An one other thing should I be concerned about this issue, NO there's nothing to worry about it's not something major!!!! ........ I'm a sparky not a mechanic but I certainly know about the cambelts An how things can go terribly wrong ... Where to go from here???? Try a different dealer. There is a shortage of parts due to the number of cars affected. The 1.5TDCi is a very popular engine. I was just lucky to get mine in before the rush thanks to this post!

isetta Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I suppose if it's still under warranty and fails before they fix it due to their shortage of parts (they must know how many they are going to have to fix before they notify the recall) then all the extra damage is at their expense, although still very inconvenient (eg. it fails 300 miles from home on a dark rainy night) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itscraig Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 just got my car rebooked in for tuesday 11th after many phone calls to ford customer services and trust ford at castleford ... this wait according to ford due to lack of parts so fingers crossed it should all be done on tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rucil Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I don't want to put the fear into anyone but my cambelt failed on my 15 plate Focus estate 1.5 TDCi last November at 86,000 miles and needed at top end rebuild which took 2 weeks. I just received the recall today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammer_2k Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hi all, got a letter to get mine sorted today, booked it in for 4th of September. Dealer said there where 2 recalls on this model of focus, other one being transmission related, anyone know what that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put your vehicle VIN into https://www.etis.ford.com/ it should list any outstanding recalls for your vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huey45 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I knew nothing about this, until recall letter came from Ford UK on my 15 Plate 1.5 Tdci 120 car, arranged a time and date and booked into local Jennings Ford, took about 5 hrs including cam belt change, Invoice copy read £135.00 but free to me as was a recall...

isetta Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 "Invoice copy read £135.00 but free to me as was a recall..." £135 sounds a bit cheap (I know you did not have to pay). I bet if I took a car in that was not part of a recall and had this done they would charge a few hundred quid more that that. I have the 1.5tdci engine in a 2015 Fiesta. I can not find any trace that any Fiestas have been recalled for this camshaft pulley replacement. Seems a bit strange as, as far as I can tell, the 1.5 tdci engines are all made in the same factory together whether they end up in a fiesta or a focus.

Pug=309 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi, sorry all for bringing back a dead thread but i believe i can answer this. April my engibe broke the camshaft pulley/sproket, cam lobes had marks on them and ultimately a new short block was the cure, car had done 48k at that point, car registered 30th april 2015. Will upload pictures once i find themm Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Miller Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Don,t know about dead thread but now have dead Focus 1.5 Tdci after camshaft sprocket failure on M1 . God knows how much damage. Car first registered July 15 and I am second owner since Feb 17 . No notice of recall from Ford so how do stand ????? Interesting chat with Ford customer service on Tuesday I suspect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Notice of recall probably went to original owner. I think ETIS is the place to check if there is outstanding field action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Miller Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thanks Phil. Just checked that. Nothing outstanding. However I was the owner when recall came out according to this thread and I haven't had it done so looks like it wasn't recalled! It will be interesting what Ford has to say.

Phil21185 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Unless you notified ford that you took it on, as far as they are likely to be aware, it still belongs to the person they sold it to. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattojones Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Had my ‘15 plate done last week after 6 weeks of ownership. 37K on the clock. Car feels , well, tighter. Found it needed doing after looking on here and saw about ETIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Miller Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Patto, Did your car come up on ETIS as needing Field service Action? When was yours first registered ? All info helpful if Ford have been negligent as facing rather large rebuild bill I suspect ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
