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.

RECALL FOR ABS WAS ISSUED BACK ON DEC 18, 2019. LAST UPDATE IS THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FIX EXPECTED BY END OF FIRST QUARTER OF 2020. IT'S NOW THE END OF FIRST QUARTER OF 2021 (15 MONTHS LATER) AND THERE IS STILL NO INDICATION OF A REPAIR DATE. IN ADDITION THERE IS NOW A SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THE DRIVER AIRBAG AS WELL. I UNDERSTAND IT TAKES TIME TO IMPLEMENT A FIX, BUT IT SEEM AS IF THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT PUTTING ENOUGH PRIORITY ON GETTING THESE REPAIRS DONE IN A TIMELY MATTER. AT THIS RATE, WITH TWO ACTIVE SAFETY RECALLS, EITHER FIXES NEED TO BE EXPEDITED; OR AN ACCEPTABLE BUY-BACK PLAN THAT ENSURES OWNERS ARE COMPENSATED FOR THE FULL VEHICLE VALUE PLUS TIME AND RISK.

TAKATA RECALL. VEHICLE STATIONARY ON JANUARY 18, 2019 THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR WAS REPLACED UNDER THE 18S01 RECALL, FORD PART NUMBER 8E5Z 54044A74 AD. ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 BROUGHT CAR INTO LOCAL QUIRK FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE BECAUSE AIR BAG COVER WAS NO LONGER WAS FLUSH TO THE DASHBOARD. FORD SERVICE SAID PROBLEM WAS DUE TO "WORN DASHBOARD" AND NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. SEE FIRST ATTACHED PICTURE. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SEPT 11, 2019 WAS TOLD PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALLS OR ANY WARRANTIES, CASE NUMBER CAS-24226208-S8R0V4. MY CONCERN IS THAT BY HAVING AN OPEN CORNER (SEE SECOND ATTACHED PICTURE) FOREIGN OBJECTS COULD ACCIDENTALLY FALL INTO THIS SPACE WITHOUT THE DRIVERS KNOWLEDGE (IE. A PENNY, DIME, ETC) AND IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED A SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR. SPECIFICALLY, FOREIGN OBJECTS COULD BECOME AIR BORNE WHEN AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A SMALL PIECE OF METAL LIKE A PENNY OR DIME COULD CAUSE FATAL DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR IF AIR BAG DEPLOYED. NOT SURE IF THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL TAKATA RECALL OR IF ANOTHER RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. IN ANY CASE I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION.
