Oak Hill, WV (WOAY) – Some Ford Focus owners should consider making an appointment with their dealers. 

Ford is recalling nearly 140,000 cars because of a safety-related concern. 

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford Focuses from 2016 to 2018 have faulty oil pump drive belts. 

Officials say this problem can cause a loss of oil pressure, increasing the risk of an engine stall or loss of power braking. 

The recall also applies to Ford Eco-Sports from 2018 to 2022. 

The automaker will contact impacted vehicle owners and repair problems at no cost.
