Description of the problem | 2013 focus hatch with manual transmission. Bought the vehicle with 69k miles, currently has just over 100k. Great vehicle, very happy with it for the most part. Haven't had any issues since purchase. Ford recall number 16c13 for the reprogramming of the body control module to require 2 presses of the trunk release to open the hatch on manual transmission vehicles has been reported as completed on my vehicle in january of 2017. However my vehicle still only requires one press of the button to open the hatch. Something that i have done inadvertently several times while driving when attempting to turn on the fog lamps. I contacted the dealer that reportedly completed the recall (sioux falls ford lincoln, sioux falls, south dakota), and ford. Both of whom told me the recall has been completed and there's nothing they can do about it without bringing the vehicle in and paying for a service. I replaced the battery in the vehicle shortly after buying it. Not sure if the body control module lost the programming, or if the recall was never completed. At any rate it doesn't affect the overall performance of the vehicle, have not experienced any issues with the hatch coming open while driving, only unlatching. I have not looked any further into the issue than this, just wanted to put my experience out there. |
