Ford Motor
Company
Models:Ford Focus
Years: 2000-2001
Number Potentially Involved:219,854
Dates of Manufacture: July
1999 - May 2001
Defect:On certain passenger vehicles
equipped with Zetec engines, loose or broken attachments and
misrouted battery cables could lead to cable insulation damage.
This, in turn, could cause the battery cables to short, resulting
in heat damage to the cables. Besides heat damage, the “check
engine” light may illuminate, the vehicle may fail to start,
and smoke, melting, or fire could also occur.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the battery cables for the
condition of the cable insulation and proper tightening of the
terminal ends. As necessary, cables will be rerouted, retaining
clips installed, and damaged battery cables replaced. The
manufacturer has reported that owner notification was to begin
Jan. 20, 2003. Owners should contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332. [NHTSA Recall No.
