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.

RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN JULY 2016 AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY CAR
Air bags, Oct 19, 2017
I WAS NOTIFIED JUNE 2016 OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AND AS OF THIS DATE 10/19/2017 NO REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN 16 MONTHS WITH NO CORRECTION AVAILABLE, I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE SINCE DEATH HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS ESPECIALLY IN THE STATE WE LIVE IN WITH IT'S HEAT AND HUMIDITY

"TAKATA RECALL" - RECEIVED A LETTER JULY 2016 ABOUT AIRBAG RECALL, BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING SINCE. STATUS ON NHTSA WEBSITE SHOWS IT'S STILL UNRESOLVED.
Air bags, Oct 11, 2017
TAKATA RECALL: THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. RECALL SINCE JUNE 2016, NO PARTS AVAILABLE.
Air bags, Oct 6, 2017
WE PURCHASED OUR FORD FUSION 2008 THROUGH A PRIVATE SALE IN MAY OF 2016. THE VEHICLE IS LISTED AS PART OF THE TAKATA PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATER RECALL SINCE JUNE 1 OF 2016. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL. I FOUND THE INFORMATION ONLINE AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND HEARING REPORTS OF A MASSIVE RECALL IN THE NEWS. AROUND JUNE 25, 2016 ON A PARTICULARLY HOT AND HUMID DAY, THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT EXPANDED AND CREATED A BUMP IN THE DASHBOARD. A GEL LEAKED OUT OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, INTO THE GLOVE BOX AND ON THE DASHBOARD. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A DEFECTIVE INFLATOR, BUT WE ALSO HAVE AN AIRBAG THAT WAS SOMEHOW ACTIVATED BY HEAT AND HUMIDITY. I HIGHLY SUSPECT THIS AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF THE CAR IS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THREE DEALERS (TWO IN OUR AREA AND THE DEALER THAT SOLD THE CAR TO IT'S FIRST OWNER. THE FIRST TWO DEALERS SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ONE DEALER SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE AIRBAG IF WE PAY OVER $600. THEY ALSO ASSURED ME THAT THE BULGING DASHBOARD AND OOZING GEL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL, BUT I WAS WELCOME TO WORK WITH TAKATA AFTER PAYING FOR THE AIRBAG TO TRY TO GET A REFUND. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS ALSO NOT HELPFUL SAYING THIS IS A PRODUCTION ISSUE WITH TAKATA, AND TAKATA DOESN'T HAVE CAPACITY TO PRODUCE THE NEEDED AIRBAGS MORE QUICKLY. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO PARK THE CAR TO RUST, AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SELL A CAR THAT HAS A SAFETY DEFECT. HOW LONG IS TOO LONG TO EXPECT TAKATA TO PRODUCE THE NEEDED AIRBAGS? WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT WITH SIGNIFICANT INJURY WHILE WAITING FOR THIS FAULTY AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED?

REFERENCE COMPLAINT NO. 11006081 AND NO. 11006075 AIRBAG REPLACEMENT - 2007 MUSTANG AND 2008 FUSION: I FOUND THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON A HONDA WEBSITE - "THE 'ALPHA' DRIVER-FRONT AIRBAG INFLATORS WERE THE SUBJECT OF THE FIRST TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS STARTING IN 2008. IN MOST CASES, THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES DID NOT REPLACE THE INFLATORS UNDER THOSE RECALLS AND, THUS, THE VEHICLES REMAIN UNREPAIRED. NOW, BECAUSE OF THE TIME THAT HAS PASSED, THEY ARE EVEN MORE LIKELY TO RUPTURE IF THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYS IN A CRASH. IN FACT, IN TESTING DONE BY TAKATA, ALPHA INFLATORS REMOVED FROM VEHICLES IN CONSISTENTLY HOT AND HUMID AREAS SHOWED A RUPTURE RATE AS HIGH AS 50 PERCENT." CAN I EXPECT THE SAME, HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF KILL RATE, IN THE INFLATORS IN MY 2007 MUSTANG AND 2008 FUSION AS THEY AGE, AS FOUND BY HONDA? I WILL PAY TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS/INFLATORS REPLACED - REQUEST YOUR OFFICE PROVIDE THE CORRECT PART NUMBERS AND RECOMMENDED PLACE TO HAVE THE WORK CORRECTLY ACCOMPLISHED. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM YOUR OFFICE TO EITHER REFERENCED COMPLAIN, ANY INFORMATION YOUR OFFICE CAN PROVIDE IS APPRECIATED. V/R, TOM

"TAKATA RECALL" THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE CARE IS BROKEN WHICH ENABLES ME TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WHICH TO ME IS CONSIDERED A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OR HAVE SOMEONE OPEN IT FOR ME. MY AIR BAG IS ALSO RAISING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS SCARES ME.
