How many recalls does a 2014 Ford Focus have?
There isn't a single fixed number; the recall count for a 2014 Ford Focus varies by market and VIN, and new campaigns can be added over time. To know the exact number for your car, check official recall databases using your vehicle's VIN.
Context: how recall counts are determined
In the United States, recall campaigns are issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and by Ford Motor Company. Other regions—Europe, Canada, and other markets—issue their own campaigns. Each campaign targets a specific risk and applies to certain VIN ranges. Because of this, the total number of recalls for a model year can differ depending on where the vehicle was sold and when it was built.
