!! That's very interesting. Is this a new initiative? How did you find out your diesel Focus has a 7-year transmission warranty? Are they sending out letters to owners?

It's probably as you say, they've just extended it to cover all Focus models for expediency, but then in the past they've been very adamant about what models are and aren't included, so that seems like a reversal of position.

I'd be very interested to read the detail of this warranty, if it mentions the 6DCT450 transmission directly I'd definitely argue it should apply to Mondeo as well.
