Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleMar 10, 2021
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2007-2011 Ranger, 2006-2012 Fusion, Lincoln Zephyr, Lincoln MKZ, 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, 2007-2010 Ford Edge, and Lincoln MKX vehicles. The driver's side air bag inflator may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver-side airbag inflator or module with an alternate one, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 9, 2021 for the passenger side, and November 14, 2022 for the driver side. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/moduleDec 18, 2019
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.
If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid and install a new brake fluid reservoir cap. In addition, the HCU will be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition, replacing the HCU as necessary. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began April 1, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S54.

The affected floor mats may move and possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal.
The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new replacement mats, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Ford's customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S07. NOTE: Vehicles built after October 31, 2010, while potentially equipped with the same floor mats, are equipped with a Brake Over Accelerator (BOA) feature that prevents simultaneous accelerator and brake application, allowing the vehicle to be safely stopped by pressing firmly and steadily on the brake pedal.

TAKATA RECALL ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, I GOT AN MAIL SAYING THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. I CALLED MY FORD LOCAL DEALERSHIP (JACKSON, TN, 38301). MY CAR WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THREE WEEKS LATER, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN BUT I WAS TOLD AGAIN THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. WHEN FORD, THE MANUFACTURE, SAID THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE, CAN'T THE DEALERSHIP JUST ORDER THE PART FOR CUSTOMERS. IT IS OUTRAGES THAT I RECEIVED MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE BACK IN 2014, BUT I STILL HAVE NOT GET IT FIXED ALMOST IN 2019. IT IS SUPPER INCONVENIENT SINCE WE CAN'T USE THIS CAR TO RIDE THE WHOLE FAMILY, BUT SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO WHEN MY SECOND CAR IS BROKEN.

I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY FORD THAT MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL ON THE THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR, AND FORD HAS REPLACED THE INFLATOR. HOWEVER, YOUR RECALL "TOOL" DOES NOT SHOW ANY RECALLS FOR MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. THIS DOES NOT LEND CREDIBILITY TO YOUR SOFTWARE.

THERE IS A RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND EVERY TIME I CALL MY FORD DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR. ALSO RECENTLY MY DOOR HANDLE HAD BROKE LEAVING IT UNABLE TO LOCK. I WORK AT A BAR SO I LEAVE LATE HOURS I WAS VERY SCARED BY A GENTLEMAN HANGING AROUND SO I GOT IN MY CAR TO LOCK THE DOORS ONLY TO BREAK MY HANDLE AND FIND OUT THIS HAPPENS A LOT AND WHEN THE MECHANISM BREAKS THE LOCKS NO LONGER WORK.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECEIVE A REPLACEMENT COMPONENT FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO DO SO FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALER SINCE 2016. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ANY PARTS IN THAT COULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE SHORTAGES AND PROBLEMS FROM THIS RECALL. THE SITE SAID TO NOTIFY SOMEONE VIA PHONE OR ONLINE COMPLAINT IF THE RECALL COULD NOT BE SATISFIED IN A TIMELY MANNER, HENCE WHY I COMPLETED THIS FORM.

TAKATA RECALL IN MARCH 2019 IT WILL BE 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG. I RECENTLY MADE AN INQUIRY TO A FORD DEALER BECAUSE IT IS PAST THE TIME THAT A REPLACEMENT SUPPOSEDLY WAS TO BE AVAILABLE. THEY SAY THEY HAVE ORDERED THE PART. NO ONE AT THE REPAIR FACILITY OR AT THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER IS ABLE TO GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS AS TO WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. OF COURSE THEY HAVE NO USA BASED C/S. THE LAST LETTER I RECEIVED STATED THAT PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE SECOND OR THIRD QUARTER OF 2018. IT IS NOW THE END OF THE FOURTH QUARTER AND I HAD HEARD NOTHING. THE REALITY IS THAT I WILL LIKELY NEVER GET A REPLACEMENT, AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DEAL WITH A NEVER ENDING RUN-AROUND. IN THEIR CURRENT CLASS ACTION SUIT THEY ARE DENYING US A RIGHT TO SUE (SHOULD WE BE INJURED) BY NOT PROVIDING THE INFORMATION IN A TIMELY MANNER (BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE A WRITTEN OPT-OUT POSTMARKED BY A SPECIFIC DATE), YET THEY HAVE BEEN STRINGING US ALONG FOR YEARS BUT GIVE US A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO OPT OUT IN WRING.

TAMARA RECALL MY FRUSTRATION IS I WANT TO SELL MY CAR, BUT DO NOT WANT TO SELL WITH A RECALL ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED FORD TWICE. FORD ASSURED ME THEY WOULD HAVE AN AIRBAG FOR ME AT HILYEAR FORD IN WOODBURN OREGON BY THE END OF OCTOBER. I CALLED EARLY NOVEMBER TO ESSENTIALLY BE TOLD TOUGH LUCK, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW. I HAD CALLED TWO DEALERSHIPS, PASCO WASHINGTON AND WOODBURN OREGON. WE'VE RECENTLY MOVED TO WOODBURN. NO HELP. BASICALLY I FEEL LIKE I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I CAN'T SELL. (WE HAVE THREE CARS, CUTTING TO TWO AFTER RETIREMENT). THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT IN MAY, BUT THERE APPEARS TO BE NO EFFORT BY FORD TO ACTUALLY RESOLVE. I JUST WISH THEY COULD GIVE A DATE THEY CAN ACTUALLY COMPETE THE REPAIR SO WE CAN PLAN. IF I'D KNOWN THIS LAST MAY, I WOULD HAVE JUST DROPPED THE INSURANCE AND PARKED MY CAR. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!

TAKATA RECALL I GOT MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE BACK IN EARLY 2016 WHEN I LIVED IN MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA. I WAS TOLD I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I AM LIVING IN JACKSON, TENESSEE. I RECEIVED A NOTICE SAYING THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE, AND THAT IS TWO AND HALF YEARS LATER. A LOT OF INCONVENIENCE HAS CAUSED. I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT A PASSENGER ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SEVERAL TIMES, WHEN MY OTHER CAR BROKE DOWN, I HAD TO DRIVE MY FUSION WITH MY WIFE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A CONSTANT TIMING BOMB IF ACCIDENT HAPPENS AND THE AIR BAG INFLATES. I HOPE FORD WILL FIX MY AIRBAG WITHIN 1 MONTH, WHICH IS A REASONABLE TIME AFTER WAITING FOR TWO AND HALF YEARS.
