Recall warning for Ford Focus 1L Ecoboost 2012/2013 plate

So my engine pretty much blew up 2 weeks ago because of the degas hose melting and starting a leak which has apparently caused me to need a new engine. Just 1 month out of its warranty but because of recall Ford is covering it.
Just thought I'd mention it here incase anyone has the same car to save themselves some trouble to go and get the pipe changed to a rubber one from ford (for free) asap. Happened to mine at 39,950~ miles.
Recall it seems was ~ early last summer.
You can see if your car is affected here.

The site is confusing, where exactly do you find out if your car is affected? My missus has a 12 plate focus.

Nothing showing as outstanding for mine (62 plate 1.0 ecoboost 125)

Under vehicle summary there is a "outstanding field service actions box".

I assume it would be there.

So is it just the smaller engined focus'?

It's just the 1l Ecoboost that suffers this.
