A Genuinely Major, Current Recall Worth Checking If You Have a Diesel — Ford Mondeo Exhaust System
This is worth checking directly against your registration if you own a diesel Mondeo: Ford has confirmed a major, current recall (reference 24E06, part of the broader KBA 14555R campaign) addressing a design-related weakness in the Diesel Particulate Filter material that can develop hairline cracks over its service life. This isn't a minor administrative recall — a cracked DPF lets unburned particulate matter bypass the filter, which can cause a failed MOT emissions test and potential Clean Air Zone compliance issues. The recall covers over 1.2 million Ford diesel vehicles worldwide across nearly the entire range — including the Mondeo — built between 2014 and 2023.
Ford Mondeo Exhaust System: The Part That Announces Its Own Problems
On the Ford Mondeo, most faults are things you'd spot visually first, but this one usually announces itself acoustically — a rattle, a drone, a noticeable jump in noise levels. That's actually helpful, since it means you'll likely notice trouble well before it gets serious.

Ford Mondeo Exhaust System: What It Does
Three jobs happen inside the Ford Mondeo's exhaust system: routing burnt gases away from the engine, quieting them through the silencer, and treating emissions via a catalytic converter and particulate filter. Petrol and diesel variants often need completely different systems to meet their respective emissions requirements.
