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.

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 2007 FORD FUSION DEVELOPED ERRATIC ELECTRICAL POWER AND STARTING FAILURE. DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE BATTERY CABLES HAD ESSENTIALLY DISINTEGRATED FROM BATTERY POSTS ALONG CONSIDERABLE LENGTH OF THE CABLES, ALSO DESTROYING THE BATTERY WITH EXCESSIVE CORROSION AND SPLITTING THE PLASTIC CABLE SHEATHS. VEHICLE WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD BUT HAD 42,000 MI. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH IMMEDIATELY FOUND 3 OTHER 2006-2007 FUSIONS WITH SAME OCCURRENCE, ALL JUST SLIGHTLY OVER THE 36,000MI WARRANTY AND NOT COVERED. FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A TSB, HAS NOT VOLUNTEERED TO COVER ANY OF THE $428 COST. THIS IS A CLEAR QUALITY CONTROL PRODUCT FAILURE, UNACCEPTABLE ON ANY 2-YR-OLD VEHICLE, AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE OR STRANDING SITUATION. *TR
