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.

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.

Electrical system, Sep 13, 2021
Faulty evap temperature sensor on my 06 Ford Fusion I purchased a couple of months ago. It is a huge safety issue, the vehicle thinks it’s running ICE COLD when it’s over 100 degrees outside. It emits hot or fluctuating air at random and it’s giving wrong readings which can cause the car to overheat or not sense when it is overheating. I do not know if the needle is correct and if it’s about to smoke or not.

WHILE DRIVING MY FUSION ON 11/1/15, BOTH FRONT TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN ONTO AN INTERSTATE. THE DASH INDICATED A WARNING THAT THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL LAMP WAS NOT WORKING WHEN THE SIGNAL WAS ACTIVATED BY THE SWITCH. I ASSUMED A BULB HAD BURNT OUT. HOWEVER, ONCE MY CAR WAS TURNED COMPLETELY OFF, THE LEFT FRONT BULB REMAINED ON, DESPITE NO ONE BEING IN THE CAR. THE LIGHT REMAINED ON FOR MULTIPLE HOURS BEFORE I BECAME AWARE OF IT ONCE I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE. DURING THIS TIME, IT WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. I THE. HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR ON CITY STREETS AND THE INTERSTATE TO GET HOME. I TRIED PURCHASING NEW BULBS, BUT FOUND THAT BOTH BULBS CURRENTLY IN THE CAR WORKED FINE. NO WIRING WAS LOOSE OR FRAYED. LATER THAT WEEK, I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILED SMART JUNCTION BOX THAT HAS LED TO THE TURN SIGNAL NOT WORKING. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN ACCORDANCE WITH MY MECHANIC'S SUGGESTION. I WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART. HOW IS THERE NO RECALL WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE? MALFUNCTIONING TURN SIGNALS WHILE DRIVING WITH NO DIRECT CAUSE IS A PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT LEADS TO A LIGHT REMAINING ON LEADING TO KILLING THE CAR BATTERY. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE ONLY SOLUTION IS PURCHASING A NEW JUNCTION BOX FROM THEM (NO LOCAL PARTS STORES CAN EVEN FIND ONE IN THEIR INVENTORY) AND HAVE IT INSTALLED AND PROGRAMMED BY THEM.

MY BACK DOOR LOCK ON MY DRIVER SIDE STOPPED AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING UNLESS I DO IT MANUALLY. IT WASN'T A HUGE ISSUE SINCE I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY BACKSEAT. LAST NIGHT, WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK, I REACHED TO OPEN MY DOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I THOUGHT I WAS TIRED ENOUGH TO BE MISTAKEN, BUT IT HAPPENED. MY DOOR WILL NOW ONLY OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE LOCK STILL LOCKS AND UNLOCKS AUTOMATICALLY WHEN I USE THE BUTTON, BUT I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW TO GET OUT. THIS CAN BE HAZARDOUS IF SOMEONE IS LOCKED IN THE CAR DURING A WRECK, FIRE, GAS LEAK, ETC. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS AND REAR BLINKERS ARE NO LONGER WORKING. ONE DAY THEY JUST WENT OUT. OF COURSE I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC RIGHT AWAY SINCE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND I HAD RECENTLY ENROLLED INTO NIGHT CLASSES FOR MY FALL SEMESTER. I LEFT MY CAR WITH MY MECHANIC FOR NEARLY A WEEK BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE ORDERED A NEW ONE, BUT WHEN IT ARRIVED HE CALLED TO TELL ME THAT IT WASN'T WHAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS. HE LET ME KEEP THE NEW SWITCH FREE OF CHARGE SINCE HE WASN'T ABLE TO HELP ME AT ALL. I HAD TO WALK TO THE SHOP TO PICK UP MY CAR BECAUSE MY MECHANIC WAS JUST AS BAFFLED AS I WAS. SINCE SOMEONE WHO WENT TO SCHOOL FOR THIS KIND OF STUFF COULDN'T HELP ME, I FIGURED I WOULD GOOGLE THE ISSUE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY ANSWERS OUT THERE. I FOUND WEBSITES FULL OF PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES.

THE POWER LOCKS, AND INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES TO OPEN THE DOOR IN BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR/DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES MALFUNCTION REGARDLESS OF USE/FORCE. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WARPS/BENDS AND BREAKS. THE LOCKING MECHANISM ALSO MALFUNCTIONS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INTERIOR. IN ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IS TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. ONCE THE LOCKING MECHANISM HAS MALFUNCTIONED, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE VIA THE REMOTE ALARM OR WITH THE PHYSICAL KEY. THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR PROBLEM AS 1:IN THE EVENT THAT THE DRIVER AND OR PASSENGERS NEED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN. 1B: IN THE EVENT THAT A CRASH OR WINDOWS MALFUNCTION, ALL OCCUPANTS ARE TRAPPED IN VEHICLE 2:THE VEHICLE IS WITHOUT PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT AS THE DOORS ARE UNABLE TO LOCK. *TR
