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.

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.

THIS NOTICE IDENTIFIED THAT THE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. A "RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRICKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". I HAVE CALLED SAN TAN FORD, GILBERT, AZ 85295 (CUSTOMER SERVICE/[XXX], SERVICE MGR. [XXX]) AND BASICALLY WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE NEW PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THIS REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY/PART. NO ANSWERS ON A FORD RECALL THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I CALLED FORD AT 1-866-436-7332 AND WAS CONNECTED WITH A FORD REP. IN THE PHILIPPINES WHO GAVE ME THE SAME RIDICULOUS ANSWER AS WAS PROVIDED BY SAN TAN FORD. NOBODY SEEMS TO GET THE BASIC IDEA THAT I AM DRIVING A LOW MILEAGE 2007 FUSION (THAT I BOUGHT NEW FROM SAN TAN FORD) THAT IS A "IMMINENT DEATH TRAP" AND WON'T AND/OR CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE RECALL.
