I was browsing the Guiness world records website and i didnt find anything on the number of recalls on a vehicle. im sure we could nominate the focus thouhg it porbly wouldnt stand very long. but we could get it in there i think.

sorry to burst your focus-bashing bubble Mr. Bitter.. :P

go do a search of the entire recall history list posted by the NHTSA here, and then post the REAL recall world record holder.

:P

Since when does a recall become a negative thing!
If there were no recalls you'd be dodging cars an parts and
truck parts etc. every time you drive anywhere!

Complaints, and problems would better the record!
I have had little in the way of "Focus problems" more like "Dealer problems".

"Think" before you post like some envious rice "bubble-head" :D .

Next: tint, front & rear bumpers...
