Hello,
I just bought a Ford Focus 1.6 Powershift 2012 plate from a Ford Dealership on the 09/04/2018. I was briefly told about the Powershift transmission, I mean they didn't mention the issues with it of course but afterwards I have seen that there are wide spread issues with this transmission.

I am used to driving an automatic but I cannot say I notice any difference when driving the car but I put my registration into the Ford recall website and it said the following.

Outstanding Field Service Actions

14M02 - TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE

I believe this is just an extended warranty on the transmission but regardless, I am pretty worried about the car now.

I have also read in multiple places the fluid and filters should be changed every 3 years or 30k miles.. The car has been serviced every year since 2012 but in the book it just has stamps so I am unable to tell when the fluid and filters were last changed

I am unsure what I can do now, thanks for any help in advance!

I would ring your local dealer, find out what the recall is and get them to change the gearbox oil.

Thanks for the reply, I have been on to them but they are taking forever to find out what it actually means

Just replied to your PM, there's no need for you to worry. The transmission in your car is the dry clutch version and doesn't need an oil and filter change like the 6DCT150.
