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.

I CALLED THE DEALER RIGHT THEN AND EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT HAS NO WARRANTY. HE SUGGESTED THAT I LET SOMEONE ELSE TO PUT IT ON. WHEN I DID WHAT HE TOLD ME THE PERSON WHO CHECKED OUT THE SAID THAT IT WAS BROKEN AND I NEEDED TO TAKE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP.

THE FRONT LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS NOT WORKING AND THE VEHICLE GIVES NO WARNING OF THIS FACT (LIKE WHEN THE BULB GOES OUT AND THE TURN SIGNAL BLINKS FASTER). THE BULB AND FUSE ARE FINE AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALER IT IS THE SMART JUNCTION BOX WHICH COSTS SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE. MY RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I FAIL TO SEE HOW FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER INOPERABLE TURN SIGNALS TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN A SAFETY ISSUE. EVERY TURN OR FOUR WAY STOP IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS OTHERS DRIVES HAVE NO IDEA WHICH DIRECTION WE WILL BE TRAVELING. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY FORD FUSION SEL V6 SINCE JUNE OF 2009. IN MAY OF 2011 MY AC WENT OUT WITHIN MINUTES OF BEING USED. I HAD STOPPED AT MY HOUSE FOR A MINUTE IN BETWEEN ERRANDS AND THE AC WORKED WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I GOT BACK IN TO LEAVE AGAIN THE AC WOULD NOT WORK. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT, MY DRIVER SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE AND I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. NOW IN MAY 2013, MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN THE SAME AS THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE TWO BACK DOOR LOCKS HAVE TO BE LOCKED FROM INSIDE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WORK FROM THE REMOTE. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING A LOUD HUMMING SOUND THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE TIRES. HOWEVER, AFTER HAVING THE CAR LOOKED AT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION (NOT MY TIRES AT ALL) I SEE HERE WHERE MANY OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT ANY OF THESE ISSUES BY FORD. THIS IS THE FIRST FORD I HAVE OWNED AND IT IS GOING TO BE THE LAST. I AM LOOKING AT GETTING A DIFFERENT CAR ASAP. *TR

IN 2010 THE PCM IN OUR 2007 FORD FUSION WENT OUT AND WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,300. THREE YEARS LATER WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING A VERY BUSY ROAD, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD BEGIN TO LIGHT UP WHICH CAUSED HER TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. THANKFULLY SHE NOTICED THE BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE DASH OTHERWISE MY FAMILY COULD'VE BEEN HURT PRETTY BAD IN A CAR ACCIDENT. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT DAYS LATER THAT ONCE AGAIN THE PCM HAD DIED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $3,000. FORD STATES THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2007 WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE, THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER RECALL ISSUED BEFORE SEVERAL DEATHS OCCUR DUE TO THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. THE COST OF THE PAIR IS RIDICULOUS ALONG WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT'S REQUIRED TO WAIT ON THE PART, WHICH IS TWO WEEKS. I'M ASKING THAT NHTSA TO PLEASE RECALL FORD'S VEHICLES FOR THIS RECURRING ISSUE AND GOING FORWARD REQUIRE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO AT MINIMUM CHECK THE COILS ON THEIR VEHICLES AROUND 75,000 MILES FOR POTENTIAL PCM ISSUES, IT COULD SAVE SEVERAL LIVES. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE; SOMETIMES I CAN GET IT TO TURN OFF IF I RESTART THE CAR. NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON; AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY. ELECTRICAL: TWO THINGS WITH THE ELECTRICAL. THE FIRST IS THE COMPASS ERROR. THIS ACTUALLY OCCURRED JANUARY 2012 (DON'T REMEMBER THE MILEAGE). I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND TURNED MY VEHICLE ON TO HAVE IT WARM UP WHILE I WAS CLEANING THE SNOW OFF OF THE CAR. SINCE IT DIDN'T AFFECT HOW THE CAR HANDLED, I DIDN'T HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE SECOND ISSUE OCCURRED 11/10/12 WHICH WAS THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT DISENGAGE (MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 73,350). I WAS PARKED TO GET OUT TO GAS UP MY CAR AND PULLED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE TO UNLOCKED THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T OPEN. THEN I PUSHED THE "UNLOCK" BUTTON OF THE DOOR AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR STILL WOULD NOT OPEN. I ENDED UP CRAWLING OVER TO THE PASSENGER'S DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE CAR USING THE DOOR KEY AND IT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE LOCK. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALER ON MONDAY 11/11/12 TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS RESOLVED.

SE V6 TRANSMISSION. WHEN PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY TO GET RID OF A TAILGATER IN THE CITY, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN SHIFTED THE CAR INTO REVERSE AFTER THE OTHER CAR HAD PASSED. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUT IT ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT GOT NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT IT HAD OBEYED MY COMMAND AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE BEFORE I RELEASED THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. THIS RESULTED IN A LOUD BANG SINCE THE CAR WAS ALREADY MOVING BACKWARDS AT A COUPLE MILES PER HOUR. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. *TR
