I AM filing a complaint regarding the 1.0 L Ecoboost engine \"wet timing belt \" system which is currently under NHTSA Engineering Analysis . My vehicle has 147,000 miles and still has the original wet timing belt . Ford`s original maintenance schedule states this belt is a standard wear item that lasts 150,000 miles . However , independent and federal data shows these belts degrade prematurely , shedding rubber teeth that clog the oil pump pickup tube screen .This creates a severe safety hazard , including sudden engine seizure and an immediate loss of power braking assist while driving . Because this is a systemic design flaw creating an unreasonable safety risk , Ford should expand safety recall 23S64 / 23V905 to cover 2015 manual transmission models . This engine is EXACTLY the same engine as the ones covered in the 2016-2018 recall with the same \" wet belt \" design .  Ford has already insinuated  to many owners that the belt degradation is due to wrong oil types used in these engines . The owner`s manual clearly states to use a Ford oil specification  ( WSS-M2C945-B ) which I have used religiously . Ford later recommended a newer oil specification ( WSS-M2C948-B) after the fact . They also have recently recommending changing the belts at 100,000 miles instead of 150,000 miles after the fact . Interestingly , newer versions of this engine are using a METAL timing chain instead of a rubber belt that degrades . I wholeheartedly believe Ford should be forced to recall these cars and fix this belt safety issue before someone gets seriously injured or killed .","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
