Ford Focus in Malaysia not affected by recall

Responding to consumer concern about the recently-announced recall of the Ford Focus in the USA, Ford Malaysia has issued a statement that those sold in Malaysia by the company are not affected at all.

Ford Malaysia MD Richard Canny explained that this is because the models sold in Malaysia are equipped with rear disc brakes, and not the drum brakes subject to the recall action.

The Focus models available in Malaysia are equipped with side airbags but are not equipped with cruise control. Therefore, the models are not affected by the actions requiring inspection of cruise control and replacement of interior trim pads.
