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.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new replacement mats, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Ford's customer service at 1-800-392-3673.

Air bags, Nov 18, 2018, crash
MY VEHICLE HAS HAD AN AIRBAG RECALL FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER (TAKATA BRAND) AIRBAG. I'VE RECEIVED MANY NOTICES FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE CAR (AUGUST, 2014). AFTER CALLING FORD MULTIPLE TIMES, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PRODUCTS HAVE NOT ARRIVED TO REPLACE THE POSSIBLY DAMAGED PARTS. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN ONE ACCIDENT IN THE PAST THREE YEARS (ROUGHLY FALL/WINTER OF 2016). THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH IS WORRISOME BECAUSE AT THIS POINT I'M UNSURE IF IT'S BECAUSE IT WASN'T NECESSARY OR BECAUSE THEY ARE MALFUNCTIONING. PLEASE ADVISE AND LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN FURTHER EVALUATE AND SOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANKS!

MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I KEEP GETTING THE SAME EXCUSE, "THE PARTS ARE NOT IN"!!1 NO MATTER WHICH FORD DEALERSHIP THAT I CONCTACT THEY ALL SAY THAT THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN DISTRUBUTED FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE JANUARY 2016 (ALMOST 3 YRS)... THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I NEED IT FIXED ASAP.... THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD EXPLODE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. SAFETY RISK: THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY... PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR REPAIRS

TAKATA RECALL - THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE AT THIS TIME AND I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 2 YEARS FOR MY CAR TO GET FIXED. THAT IS TOO LONG. USING A RENTAL CAR IN LIEU OF FIXING MY CAR DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND FOR THE LIFE OF ANY PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. FORD SHOULD REPLACE MY CAR WITH A SIMILAR VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. TO DATE THE AIRBAGS HAVE NOT BEEN USED NOR HAVE THEY FAILED.
