There's a PCM update for Focus with automatic for flat towing. That's all I know about it, no doubt others know more. If it is applicable to your exact Focus, best to get it done. Ford dealership.
The 2012 and 2013 Focusses (and maybe early '14s) had a tendency to exploderate the transmission when being towed because owners were not waiting until it was fully in Neutral before shutting of the ignition on the Auto trans. The Focus auto is really an electronic dual clutch transmission, and both gear-sets have to be in Neutral for towing. The update adds a message center feature telling you when it's fully in Neutral and safe to tow.
