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.

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.

Air bags, Jan 19, 2018
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE IN JUNE 2016. IT'S 2018 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REMEDY MY CAR. I JUST RECEIVED A NEW NOTICE TELLING ME NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I'M PREGNANT AND HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD. THIS IS ME AND MY HUSBAND'S ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. FORD HAS THE PARTS, THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO PAY UPFRONT. THEY NEED TO GIVE US A LENDER VEHICLE OR ALLOW US TO GET THE REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. I WOULD EVEN PAY FOR THE REPAIR UPFRONT IF I KNEW I'D BE REIMBURSED. THEY CAN'T JUST TELL 2 YEARS AFTER THE FIRST NOTICE, 'HEY DON'T DRIVE YOUR CAR' TO TRY TO GET RID OF ANY LIABILITY. IT'S RIDICULOUS. THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING MY FAMILY IN SERIOUS DANGER FOR YEARS AND IT IS DESPICABLE AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

WE RECACHED OUT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP PRIOR TO THAT DATE (AROUND APRIL OF 2016) AND THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE THE RECALL HAD YET BEEN ANNOUNCED. ITS NOW ALMOST 2 YEARS LATER AND WE ARE JUST RECEIVING NOTICE THAT NO ONE SHOULD BE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE'S PASSENGER SEAT.

THE FOR DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED THEY COULDN'T SUPPLY A RENTAL CAR.
