Q2: Which Ford models is part number 5236243 compatible with?
A2: The latch 5236243 is used in several Ford models. For example:

• Ford Focus MK3 and variants (hatch, estate)

• Ford Kuga (especially MK2 / C520)

• Ford Transit Custom, Ford Transit MK8 (2014 onward)

• Also in the Ford parts catalog as a genuine option for “Focus / Focus Estate / Kuga” under number 5236243

Because Ford may use the same part across several body styles and years, buyers should confirm using VIN or original part number.

Q5: Can cleaning or lubrication fix the issue instead of replacing the latch?
