Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Ford Fusion vehicles manufactured July 21, 2008, to March 4, 2011, and 2010-2011 Mercury Milan vehicles manufactured July 23, 2008, to December 10, 2010. The affected vehicles have fuel vapor canisters whose purge valves may not operate properly resulting in abnormal pressure changes in the fuel tank.
The pressure changes may cause the tank to crack and leak fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle powertrain control modules and inspect the vehicle for any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for this issue and perform a leak test on the Canister Purge Valve (CPV). The fuel tank will be inspected for cracks. The CPV and fuel tank will be replaced as necessary. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2016.

I HAVE A FORD FUSION 2010. I FIRST NOTICED MY CAR HAD AN ISSUE IN APRIL. I WAS BEHIND A TRUCK AND IT WAS SLOWING DOWN SO I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. I WAS IN KY OVER THE WEEKEND AND NOTICED THE CAR SPEEDING UP INTO PASSING GEAR AFTER I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. I GET HOME FROM KY AND FIND A RECALL FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I DID NOT REPORT THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I SAW WHAT THE MEDIA DID TO OWNERS OF TOYOTAS SAYING THAT THEIR FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND ON TO THE GAS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL ISSUE THIS PAST TUESDAY. IT WAS NOTED I WAS THE FIRST TO REPORT THAT THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. I'M NOT SURE IF I FALL INTO THE STUPID CATEGORY OR NOT BUT I DID NOTICE IN THE PAPER YESTERDAY THAT FLOOR MATS MAYBE CAUSING THE ACCELERATING ISSUE. WHO EVER SAID THIS IS REALLY THE STUPID ONE.
