How often should the timing belt be replaced in a Ford Focus?

I have a Ford Focus and I want to make sure I keep up with the maintenance. How frequently should I replace the timing belt in my car?

As a general rule, it is recommended to replace the timing belt every 60,000-100,000 miles or every 5-7 years. However, it is best to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your year and model of Ford Focus.

I would suggest replacing the timing belt every 80,000 miles as a preventative measure to avoid any potential issues in the future.

It is important to regularly inspect the timing belt and replace it as soon as you notice any signs of wear and tear. Safety should always be your top priority when it comes to vehicle maintenance.
