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.

REQUEST TO ADD VIN # TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID#: 19V904000. BRAKE PEDAL ALWAYS WENT DOWN MORE THAN NORMAL. IN JUNE 2018, HAD REAR BRAKE PADS, CALIPER AND ROTORS REPLACED. OCTOBER 2018, HAD FRONT ROTORS REPLACED, MARCH 2020 HAD REAR BRAKE, CALIPERS AND ROTORS REPLACED AGAIN. MECHANIC BLED THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT ESTABLISH HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, BUT TESTED AND THERE WERE NO LEAKS. MECHANIC SAID THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE BRAKES TO BE REPLACED THIS OFTEN, THE FLUID IS NOT GETTING WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD SERVICE AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THEM TO BLEED THE BRAKES WHEN I JUST HAD A MECHANIC DO IT. MY MECHANIC CALLED THEM TO EXPLAIN, BUT SINCE THE VIN # IS NOT ON THE RECALL, THEY ARE NOT HANDLING THIS ISSUE PROFESSIONALLY. IT IS THE VALVES WITHIN THE HBS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT THAT IS PROHIBITING THE VALVES FROM CLOSING PROPERLY WHICH IS WHY MY MECHANIC COULD NOT PRESSURIZE THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE SYSTEM. THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND; THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEREFORE, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THIS VIN# BE ADDED TO THIS RECALL SO REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. THEY WILL NEED TO BLEED THE BRAKES ANYWAY AFTER REPLACING THE VALVES IN THE HCU. THIS CAR IS NOT DRIVEN EVERY DAY, AND SAT IN THE GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME FROM 2018 TO MARCH 2020. I DO HAVE RECEIPTS WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF WORK DONE. THIS IS A SCHOOL CAR AND I DON'T WANT TO RISK MY CHILD BEING IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND I WOULD APPRECIATE A TIMELY RESPONSE.

SOMETIMES THE FAILURES ARE SEVERAL MONTHS APART AND USUALLY GO AWAY AFTER ONE OR TWO RESTARTS. TODAY THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN BUT I AM UNABLE TO CLEAR IT BY RESTARTING THE CAR. THE CAR WILL NOW HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER ONCE MORE. I AM NOT BLAMING THE DEALER AS THEY HAVE DONE WHAT THEY CAN. FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION SHOULD HAVE BEEN RE PAIRED BY NOW. TODAY'S PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH ON A CITY ST. IN THE PAST IT MOSTLY HAPPENED WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED.

WHILE DRIVING ON I85 IN ATLANTA AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME WILL BRAKE SUDDENLY CAUSING ME TO JAM MY BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. INSTEAD OF STOPPING OR SLOWING THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUES TO GO FORWARD AND I ALMOST REAR END THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND ALL FOUR ROTORS, BRAKES AND CALIPERS. ALL TO NO EFFECT. AT SLOW SPEEDS IT WILL PULL TO ONE SIDE DURING BRAKING OR FEEL AS IF IT IS GRABBING ONE SIDE THEN THE OTHER INSTEAD OF A SINGLE SMOOTH PRESSURE. AT HIGHER SPEEDS YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE PUMP TO GET THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE WITH ANY FIRMNESS. THERE IS A ABS CONTROL UNIT RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE 19V904000 BUT IS FOR PLANT SPECIFIC VEHICLES. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ALL 2010 FORD FUSIONS.IM GOING TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND HOPE THE RECALL IS EXPANDED. AS IT IS, IT SITS IN MY YARD BECAUSE WE ARE TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH THEN BEGAN TO BLINK. I STARTED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING, I COASTED TO A STOP AND CALLED TRIPLE A. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. I DROVE THE CAR OUT OF THE REPAIR SHOP AND WHEN I CAME TO THE FIRST STOP SIGN AGAIN IT FELT LIKE I HAD NO BRAKES. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 MPH SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUSHING EXTREMELY HARD DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND USING THE AID OF MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND AFTER 2 DAYS THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR HAD A PROBLEM THAT ONLY THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIX. THE CAR NEEDED THE BRAKE SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATED BECAUSE OF A GLITCH RESULTING IN THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT TO GET STUCK OPEN OR REACT SLOWLY.
