Is it as simple as the oil level was low ?

If there garage is a member of the blue oval trade club there is a technical helpline number available to them, they can run through a list of checks and advise if there are any other issues or further revisions to the coolant pipe.

I think there is still an issue with some of the engines and some dealers are still replacing them out of warranty, our local dealer was carrying out at least 3 engine changes a week.

I’ve seen this on a 2012 focus 1.0, same oil pressure warning followed by knocking from engine,
oil level was ok, found the strainer mesh on oil pump pickup completely blocked by what appeared to be fibres of the timing belt flaking off,
destroyed bottom end unfortunately

I'd get them to take it to a good Indy & have it read first,

There is a problem with certain 1.0 eco boost engines and Ford may well replace the engine out of warranty but this will depend on whether the service schedule had been adhered to.
Apparently in some countries there are class actions going through. Mainly for coolant issues. You don't say what engine the car has.
