Ford Puma Exhaust System: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults
Unlike much of Ford's range, UK Pumas were never sold with diesel — meaning a major current Ford-wide DPF recall genuinely doesn't apply here.

Good News: The Major Ford Diesel DPF Recall Doesn't Apply to UK Pumas
Ford has confirmed a major, current recall (reference 24E06, part of the broader KBA 14555R campaign covering over 1.2 million diesel vehicles worldwide) addressing a Diesel Particulate Filter design weakness affecting much of Ford's diesel range. Worth knowing directly: while a 1.5-litre EcoBlue diesel Puma was offered in continental Europe, Ford explicitly confirmed the UK market never took this diesel option — UK Pumas are petrol/mild-hybrid only. This means the DPF recall genuinely doesn't apply to a standard UK-market Puma, though it's worth double-checking if your specific car was privately imported from Europe.
Ford Puma Exhaust System: The Part That Announces Its Own Problems
On the Ford Puma, this is one of the few parts where your ears will catch a problem before your eyes do — a new rattle, a drone, noise that simply wasn't there a week ago. That's a genuine advantage, since it gives you an early warning most other faults don't offer.

Ford Puma Exhaust System: What It Does
On the Ford Puma, burnt gases leave the engine through the exhaust system, which quiets them via the silencer and treats emissions through a catalytic converter and particulate filter before anything exits the tailpipe. Petrol and diesel versions frequently use entirely different systems, since their emissions treatment needs aren't the same.
