High riskDVSA

An official DVSA notice concerns Ford - Vehicle could suffer clutch pressure plate fracture. Vehicle could suffer clutch pressure plate fracture Published 2019-02-22.

What to do now

To prevent the repeated heating /cooling events a new calibration has been developed for vehicles fitted with engine stop start feature. The software with the additional feature sets the instrument panel �wrench light� and de-rates the engine performance if prolonged clutch slip is detected. The software feature includes a drive cycle strategy for latching the wrench light and engine performance de-rate if the customer should experience repeated clutch slip events. For vehicles that do not have engine stop start feature an alternative clutch kit has been released.
