Default Focus RS official recall

Seems the boys at ford have swallowed there pride & ordered a recall on all ford RS for inspection
Turns out the Headgasket ( Ford Mustang ) was a pressed item & unfit for purpose . The later re - designed is multi section with brass rivets . All cars will be checked to see wich gasket is fitted . / can be identifiable without stripping down as visible inspection on front overlap .

These focus RS’s are common as muck, I see so many of them, they’ve lost that special status imo.

This, International Motors / Subaru is how you deal with cars with shoddy/faulty engines.

All seem to be that bloody blue colour aswell. The mk 2’s are much nicer.

Easier to get away with it if not a part of the EU.

They already have gotten away with it!

Last time I checked, we're still in the EU.

And how many faulty whirlpool/hotpoint/creda dryers are there still out there waiting to catch fire? Not to forget the frost-free fridges that the media have forgotten about

The funny part is Subaru owners are paying for their problem, at least Ford are addressing the issue.
