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.

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.

DRIVER SIDE, REAR DOOR OPENED, PASSENGERS EXITED. I, MYSELF, CLOSED THE DOOR BEHIND THEM AND THE DOOR SIMPLY FLEW BACK OPEN. DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. DOOR WILL NOT SHUT. NOT MANUALLY, NOT BY KEY. LOCKING MECHANISM ON CAR WILL NOT WORK. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE BACK SEAT AND LITERALLY HOLD THE DOOR SHUT SO THAT MY PASSENGERS WOULD NOT FALL OUT OF THE CAR. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND ONE ON THE WAY. I CANNOT SIT IN THE BACK AND HOLD THE DOOR SHUT IF I NEED TO USE THE CAR. CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED, ALL SERVICE'S DONE STRICTLY BY FORD.

THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN BULGING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT, I CHECKED TO SEE IF IT COULD BE FIXED. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES TO FIX IT AND IT WOULD PROBABLY COST ME WELL $1000 BUCKS. SOME HAVE BEEN QUOTED OVER $2000. MY CAR IS PAID FOR AND I AM NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. EVEN WITH A WARRANTY I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. TO ME, THIS ISSUE A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM FORCED TO LEAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IF I HIT A BAD BUMP IN THE ROAD, IT MIGHT EXPLODE AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN INJURE MY PASSENGER. HAVING TO LEAVE IT OFF, IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT IT MAY NOT DEPLOY IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I RESEARCHED AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE BULGING AIR BAG ON DIFFERENT MODELS OF THE FORD FUSION, I DO NOT FEEL IT IS FAIR THAT I/WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NOT A COSMETIC PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE CONSUMER. IS FORD GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS AND FACE A LAWSUIT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THE PROBLEM? I DO NOT HAVE A COUPLE $1000 DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIXED. MY AC HAS BEEN BROKEN SINCE LAST YEAR. I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THE AC. PLEASE, IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS MY 2007 FORD FUSION SE V6 WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. ENGINE WOULD REMAIN RUNNING BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THIS OCCURS. SOLUTION IS TO PULL OVER AND SHUT CAR COMPLETELY OFF FOR 30 SECONDS AND RESTART. SOMETIMES THIS WOULD WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES OR SEVERAL 1000 MILES BEFORE REPEATING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE FORD DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUES FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AT FORD WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER WITH ALL OF THIS INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WOULD TAKE WEEKS TO GET AND THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS THE EXACT OEM PART WHICH HAS THE SAME DEFECT. FORD WANTS ME TO PAY TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PART WITH A DEFECTIVE PART. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOSING POWER IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC THE RISK OF A CRASH IS EVEN MORE OF A CONCERN. WHY IS FORD NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE ON A RECALL? THIS IS GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED! *TR
