Ford to refund 'engine fail' EcoBoost customers

Ford has offered to refund thousands of pounds to customers whose engines have failed, following a BBC investigation.

Many 1.0-litre drivers had been told they had to pay for repairs, but Ford has now said it will cover the cost and refund customers who have already paid. Ford has been aware of the issue on the 1.6-litre EcoBoost since 2012, after several engine fires in the United States.
