I can remember a hand ful of Euro ford owners on this forum back in the day absolutely piling on the Aussie built Fords for their quality control issues and recalls/warranty.
Little did they know Focus/Mondeo diesel DPF and power shift trans we’re getting ready to say hold my beer.
Don’t think they ever mentioned recalled/warranty again after that drama which likely contributed to the poor sales of Mondeo and Focus.

The Focus DSG was an issue when it was first introduced on the LV Focus TDCI as well, our very own Yellow Festiva, we both bought new LV TDCI Focus around a similar time frame.
His shat its DSG around 70,000km and he had serious issues getting it done under warranty from his Ford dealership, my manual one went 235,000km before I gave the car away last year, it still lives, its up in Echuca now
The DSG has been a drama on Ford Euro cars since its introduction, it wasn't just the latest round of LW Focus and WZ Fiesta that it was an issue, it was just more prominent then because they sold lots more of them.
