Ford Focus Recall Affects 1.3 Million Vehicles Due To Fuel Problem

DETROIT (CBSNewYork) - Ford is recalling nearly 1.3 million of its Focus compact cars because of a problem with the fuel system.

The defect can cause the cars to stall without warning.

The affected cars have model years from 2012 through 2018.
