Overview
Local preview — inspection orientation

The third-generation Galaxy (2015-2023) shared its CD539 platform with the S-Max Mk2 and, like it, was never confirmed sold new in Russia — the prior Mk2's RU sales ended in mid-2015 as this generation launched.

Its 2.0 Duratorq TDCi diesel is named in the same UK DVSA cylinder-head-crack recall confirmed for other Ford models of this era fitted with the same engine, so a VIN recall check and cylinder-head inspection apply; the 1.5 EcoBoost petrol needs its own service-history check instead.

Assessing an individual example means confirming the exact engine from the documents and VIN before applying either route.

Filtered: DURATORQ-TDCI-2.0 · 2.0 Duratorq TDCi.

Pre-purchase checklist

Diagnostics
  • Check whether the revised ECM calibration (the official remedy for this recall — improves overheat detection and adds an instrument-cluster warning plus an engine de-rate strategy) has already been installed on this specific car via its service history/recall status, and inspect the oil sump area for any sign of a prior overheating-related repair
Documents
  • Check this specific Galaxy's DVSA recall status by VIN for the cylinder-head-crack campaign if it carries the 2.0 TDCi diesel
