Catalytic converters contain platinum and hang from the bottom of your car. They are becoming more and more popular and many people are having them stolen away due to their increase in value. These thefts are occurring more in the UK then anywhere else.
Not only does a missing cat let more pollution into the air, it also disables operation of the car in some cases. In an effort to combat this growing problem, Ford has partnered with Retainagroup to place individual serial numbers on converters.
These IDs are intended to give law enforcement the ability to track down and prove whether individual converters were stolen or not. Visit your local U.K. Ford dealer with £11.87 in hand and you’re all set.
