- The U.S. Department of Justice has demanded documents related to the transmission used in about 2 million of Ford Motor Co’s Fiesta and Focus vehicles sold throughout this decade, the Detroit Free Press reported on Wednesday. The newspaper obtained a subpoena issued in April in Case No. 126 before a District of Columbia grand jury requesting"all documents, communications and electronically stored information" relating to the company's actions involving the DPS6 PowerShift transmission dating back to 2010, the report said. [A Ford spokesman told Reuters that it has cooperated with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as to DPS6-related issues beginning in 2014.
The automaker has taken a number of actions to enhance transmission performance, including extending warranties for customers from between five years/60,000 miles and seven years/100,000 miles, the spokesman added.
