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.

ON MY 2009 FORD FUSION: THE BRAKES STARTED GETTING SOFTER AND TAKING LONGER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. I HAVE PULLED AND TESTED THE MASTER CYLINDER THE BRAKES ARE FINE AND ARE NOT LOW, THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN BLED, WENT THROUGH 2 LARGE BOTTLES OF DOT 3 FLUID, CALIPERS TESTED, BUT THE BRAKES ARE STILL SOFT AND WILL NOT CATCH UNTIL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. I WENT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY ELUDED TO THE IDEA THAT THERE WAS A FIX FOR THE RECALL REGARDING THE ABS VALVE, I GOT THERE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT A FIX AND THE RECALL ISSUE HAS NOT CAUSED ANY CRASHES AND IT WOULD NOT CAUSE MY BRAKES TO GO SOFT. I CORRECTED HIM AND SAID IT HAS CAUSED CRASHES AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BRAKES. I CANNOT ORDER A NEW ABS MODULE, NO PARTS COMPANIES HAVE THEM. SO THE CAR BARELY STOPS AND STILL NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL ISSUE.
