Does the 2016 Ford Focus have a timing belt or chain?

A manufacturer-specified timing chain will be fitted with the 2016 Ford Focus. The timing chain is expected to last for the life of the vehicle, but issues can arise by wear and tear or a faulty timing chain tensioner. Eventually, when this happens, the timing chain may stretch or warp, causing the car to drive aggressively, pause, or even stall. You will also hear a slapping noise when You firSTStart the engine before it's warmed up. Sometimes this is misdiagnosed as a ticking from the lifter. On average, the approximate cost of substituting the timing chain would be between $250 and $300, but it will depend on the labor used to separate and replace the components.
