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.

WHEN SPEEDING UP TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR REVVED UP TO ALMOST 6K RPM AND JERKED VIOLENTLY INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER AND THE CAR WAS PARKED. THE NEXT MORNING THE LIGHT WAS OFF UNTIL A SHORT TRIP TO THE MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND GOT 2 ERROR CODES. BOTH SHOWING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

DASHBOARD COVER AREA OVER PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS STARTING TO BULGE AND I CAN SEE AIRBAG. CONCERNED ABOUT FAILURE OF AIRBAG TO DEPLOY OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT. INTERNET SEARCH HAS FOUND THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AND APPARENTLY FORD DOES NOT DO ANYTHING IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, WHICH, MINE IS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF MISHAP TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. LETS GET FORD TO REPAIR OR REMEDY THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS FAULT. *TR

UPON DRIVING THE SPEED BECAME ERRATIC AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN VERY QUICKLY REQUIRING ME TO PULLOVER QUICKLY FOR FEAR OF A REAR END COLLISION. AT THAT TIME I SAW THE WRENCH LIGHT ON MY DASH. I FEEL THAT IS A HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED UNDER THE WARRANTY OR AS A RECALL FROM FORD COMPANY. THE WAIT FOR PARTS IS ALMOST A MONTH, FORD SHOULD GIVE A LOANER CAR AS I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR IN TRAFFIC. THANK YOU *TR

I WENT TO OPEN MY DRIVER DOOR TO GET OUT AND I HEARD A POP... THE HANDLE IS NOW LOOSE. SO IN ORDER TO OPEN MY DOOR I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW, OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE, ROLL THE WINDOW BACK UP, AND THEN TURN OFF THE CAR. I HAVE READ TONS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND FORD IS NOT ISSUING A RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD! IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND AM UNABLE TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN I WILL BE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND VERY COMMON. I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, VEHICLE JERKED, DECELERATED AND SLOWED TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING OF GAS PEDAL. HAD TO PULL VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ORANGE WRENCH ICON APPEARED. TURNED CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN AND ICON DISAPPEARED. NOT KNOWING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STOP ACCELERATING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS ISSUE AFFECTS SOMEONE WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING AND ARE UNABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF OF THE ROAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE IDLER PULLEY BOLT HAS BROKEN 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I'VE READ IN MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS THAT ONCE THIS STARTS TO HAPPEN, IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY FEW MONTHS. I CAN'T SELL THIS CAR TO SOMEONE KNOWING THE BOLT WILL BREAK, AND I CAN'T CONTINUE PAYING $200 EVERY TIME IT DOES. I NEVER KNOW WHERE OR WHEN IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE FOR THE 2007 FUSION; JUST GOOGLE "2007 FORD FUSION IDLER TENSION PULLEY". I'M WONDERING WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE POOR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN OF THIS BOLT THAT IS OBVIOUSLY INADEQUATE? *TR

THE DOOR OPENING MECHINISIM HAS BROKEN MULTIPLE TIMES (3 TO DATE) IN WHICH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS IF AN ACCIDENT DID INCUR THE DRIVER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD WITH 125K MILES AND IT HAS BROKEN 3 TIMES. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND A PROPER FIX PROVIDED AS IT IS DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN AND IS A SAFETY RISK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO HOUSTON FROM SAN ANTONIO ON I10 AND GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING MY DRIVE I WAS SHOCKED BY A SLIGHT JERK AND A "WRENCH" SYMBOL APPEAR. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE AND HARDLY HAD ANY ACCELERATION TO MOVE OFF THE ROAD. EVENTUALLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TURN OFF MY CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE ABOUT 5 MIN BEFORE HAPPENING AGAIN. I ENDED UP PULLING OF THE ROAD 8 TIMES UNTIL I JUST DECIDED TO CALL AAA AND PAY ADDITIONAL FEES TO TOW MY CAR INTO HOUSTON. IT WAS SCARY AND DEF. A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS MALFUNCTION. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND SURE ENOUGH IT'S A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. I DROVE TODAY WITH NO ISSUES, BUT I AM SURE IT WILL OCCUR AGAIN VERY SOON. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL AND THINK ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY. *TR

THROTTLE BODY ISSUE - CONFIRMED SINCE I JUST SPENT $930.00 AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE. WIFE GOT IN CAR AT MALL. FIRST CAR WOULD NOT START LOOSE CONTACT ON TERMINAL. SHE CALLED ME I JIGGLED WIRE, CAR STARTED BUT YOU COULD PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND ONLY VERY SLIGHT POWER (WRENCH LIGHT ON...). SHE PARKED THE CAR AS IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 3 MILES AN HOUR AND I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR TO SEE IF IT WOULD DRIVE AND IT WOULD NOT. HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO PLANET FORD DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAD HAPPENED ONE WEEK EARLIER BUT WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT RAN FINE. I HAD A MECHANIC DO THE CODES THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS THROTTLE BODY AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID IT THE SECOND TIME. *JS
Power train, Apr 11, 2014
AFTER AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE THE CODE READ. THE CODE THAT APPEARED WAS FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY FOR THE FORD FUSION FROM 2009 -2012. MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT MY THROTTLE BODY ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP IS "ERRATIC". I FEEL THAT THE RECALL ON THE THROTTLE BODY MAY NEED TO BE REEXAMINED AS MY CAR, ONLY TWO YEARS OLDER THAN THOSE BEING RECALLED, IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE PART SHOULD NOT GO BAD THAT QUICKLY. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. *JS

THE IDLER PULLEY IS CAUSING A BOLT TO SNAP IN TWO THAT'S ASSISTING IN HOLDING IT IN PLACE, WHICH PREVENTS THE ENGINE BELT FROM ROTATING AND CAUSING THE BELT TO FALL OFF( THE BELT DID NOT BREAK) MAKING ME LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME WITHIN A MONTHS TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS LUCKY IT ONLY HAPPEN ONCE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON MY STREET. THE OTHER TIME IT HAPPEN I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I NOTICED IT WHEN I TRIED TO BACK OUT AND COULD NOT TURN MY WHEEL. I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY KIDS INTO THE CAR BECAUSE THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE WE ARE OUT AND ABOUT. THIS PROBLEM HAS COST ME OVER $1600 AND THE DEALERSHIP STILL CAN NOT GIVE ME EXACT REASON TO WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME. THEY HAD TO PULL THE WHOLE ENGINE OUT THE SECOND TIME JUST TO GET THE BOLT OUT. *TR

WENT TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE AND WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED THE VEHICLE RESPONDED WITH NO POWER, SHUDDERED, AND STALLED. HAD TOWED TO A LOCAL TRUSTED MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A SPECIFIC PROBLEM BECAUSE THE HE WAS GETTING "CRAZY PROBLEM CODES". VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALER WHO DISCOVERED THE COILS WERE DESTROYED DUE TO A PCM FAILURE. COILS AND PCM REPLACED AT THE COST OF $2,200. DRIVING HOME AFTER VEHICLE WAS "REPAIRED" CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED DUE TO THE PCM/COIL FAILURE. VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS INSPECTION UNTIL CONVERTER IS REPAIRED/REPLACED AT AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $2,000+. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO PREVENT THE PCM/COIL FAILED, IT "JUST HAPPENED". BASIC RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS HAPPENS WITH ENOUGH FREQUENCY THAT FORD MUST BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE 2007 FORD FUSION V6 AWD. *TR

VEHICLE WAS MISSING, THOUGHT IT WAS PLUGS OR NEEDED TUNEUP. MECHANIC SAID 2 COILS WERE BURNT OUT AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH PLUGS. HAD TWO REPLACED AND 6 PLUGS REPLACED. THE NEXT WEEK SAME PROBLEM, TOOK BACK TO MECHANIC, SAID ANOTHER COIL BURNT OUT, CHECKED COMPUTER AND SAID DEALER WOULD NEED TO LOOK AT PROBLEM, MAY BE AN ONBOARD COMPUTER ISSUE CALLED PCM. RESULT: FORD DEALER DX COMPUTER ISSUE,CALLING FOR REPLACEMENT AND ALSO ALL COILS AND PLUGS. TOTAL COST OF MECHANICS AND DEALER... $581 PLUS 2015= 2596. NO PROBLEMS SINCE, BUT WAS WARNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN BY DEALER, AND THAT THIS WOULD BE WARRANTIED. NOT SURE IF THAT IS TRUE. DEALER WOULD NOT ADMIT TO ANY PROBLEMS WITH OTHER FUSIONS, NOR WOULD REGIONAL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. WILL KEEP CAR FOR A YEAR OR SO AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, MOST LIKELY TRADING WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. DONT WANT THAT SAME PROBLEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, AT A COST OF OVER $2000. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD A HOWL AND VIBRATION, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED AS A TRANSFER CASE (PTU) FAILURE, THIS WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER LEAVING THE FORD DEALERSHIP. MY LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED THE PTU AT A COST OF $1000. VEHICLE WAS FINE FROM NOVEMBER 2013 TILL JUST THIS PAST WEEK MARCH 6 2014 WHERE A LEAK OF GEAR OIL WAS FOUND IN THE DRIVEWAY, CAR WAS BROUGHT TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH CONFIRMED A LEAK OF THE SEAL ON THE TRANSFER CASE (PTU). VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO LOCAL MECHANIC THAT MADE THE REPAIR. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS HIT 100K MILES THAT IT IS IN NEED OF CONSTANT REPAIR. I HAVE OWNED MANY FORDS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS!! FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!! THEY CLAIM TO HAVE RELIABLE VEHICLES BUT THIS IS NOT RELIABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP IN JULY OF 2010 I ONLY GOT 3 GOOD YEARS OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. ITS A SHAME CAUSE ITS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR AND NOW I HAVE NOTHING BUT MECHANICAL ISSUES. *TR

REPROGRAMMED MY TRANSMISSION BUT NOW SHIFTS AT A HIGHER RPM CAUSING LOWER FUEL MILEAGE. THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODIES GOING BAD BECAUSE THIS WAS A COLLABORATION WITH MAZDA.
