I dont think it has a recall mate

shoot me your reg or VIN and I can see if it’s previously had one done

(work at a ford dealer)

i thought that was just for fiestas and kugas? i remember the fiasco we had with the wifes st180 at the time,i booked it in,took the car to the dealers expecting the work to be carried out but they said oh no this is just a check to see if it needs doing! it did need doing so booked it in for another day ,took it back again to be told they were still waiting for the parts to arrive so had to go back a 3rd time,total bunch of incomepetent idiots even when the work had been done i checked it out to find the new hose was rubbing on the bottom edge of the engine cover so that would have soon chafed through causing the problem they were supposed to be rectifying
i hope your dealer is better

Apparently the Ford system is correct and no recall required, so very strange as the remedial work was to fit a cooling sensor and dash instrument warning neither of which i can confirm other than than usual water temperature gauge. In fact I dont even think the Preface-lift Focus ST has a low oil warning sensor let alone a cooling one. Anyway glad I double checked what Motorscan was suggesting thanks to @louishamilton310 for his swift check. 😉
