Blue LS XR5 Turbo

Hi guys,
Just thought I'd put it out there to anyone else with a LS XR5 Turbo Focus (not sure as yet whether any others are affected). Had mine towed in to Klosters for the 2nd time today as the power steering failed in the middle of a corner over the weekend. Tried replacing the fluid but it dumped as soon as the car was running again. In talking to them today it was mentioned that my car "might be affected by the recall". Apparently it's very recent and not on Ford's website as yet. I'll try to get as much info as possible tomorrow. It's a faulty clip which can cause the hose to come loose. See everyone at the next meeting (Steve and I can't make it to Oakvale as we will be in Denman but hope you have a great day). Cheers, Kerrie.

Update:
Turns out it was the clip that was supposed to be recalled that failed. The recall was around January this year. Not impressed that it wasn't sorted out in July when they had the car but I'm back on the road at least. Also FYI there is a recall for hub retaining bolts if anyone else hasn't had those replaced yet. Not sure of the build dates affected but Ford will be able to tell you (mine's Feb07 and it was affected by both notices). See everyone at the next meeting! Kez
