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.

Ford's number for this recall is 14S07. NOTE: Vehicles built after October 31, 2010, while potentially equipped with the same floor mats, are equipped with a Brake Over Accelerator (BOA) feature that prevents simultaneous accelerator and brake application, allowing the vehicle to be safely stopped by pressing firmly and steadily on the brake pedal.

I HAD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IS NOT ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THERE ARE RECALLS OUT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER SAID THIS IS VEHICLE SPECIFIC RECALLS.

UPON STARTING 2010 FORD FUSION, THE "STEERING DEFAULT ASSIST" LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE IS NO POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, ONCE WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE I HAS PASSENGERS AND WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN. IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THIS VEHICLE AND MAINTAIN CONTROL. I HAD TO FIND A SPOT TO STOP TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING (9/27/209) AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL TAKING DAUGHTER TO BUS STOP. PREVIOUSLY I HAD TAKEN CAR TO DUNCAN FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL??? BESIDES THIS INCIDENT (WHICH IS SCARY IN ITSELF), IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHEN STARTING CAR IN DRIVEWAY, HAVE TO TURN IGNITION OFF AND ON TO CLEAR WARNING AND REGAIN POWER STEERING. ALSO, HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I HAD PASSENGERS IN THE CAR AND WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FOUGHT FOR CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I HAD TO FIND A PLACE TO STOP AND RESTART CAR TO REGAIN CONTROL OF STEERING!! NOT ACCEPTABLE. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $1800 TO FIX PROBLEM, NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR DEFECT.

FORTUNATELY WE WERE ON A CITY STREET AND NOT ON RT.9 ..THE VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WE USUALLY TRAVEL ON. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I SHUT THE CAR OFF..WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED IT AGAIN..IT WAS OK TO DRIVE BUT ONLY ABOUT A MILE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN..WE WERE ABOUT 6 MILES FROM HOME...THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE WE ACTUALLY GOT HOME! IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AS THE POWER STEERING FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING AND I WAS ON A CURVE ON A BUSY STREET...WE SAT THERE WITH THE FLASHERS ON HOPING THAT NO ONE WOULD RUN INTO US! CAR IS NOW BEING TOWED TO FORD GARAGE FOR REPAIR...AND FROM WHAT WE WERE TOLD COULD BE VERY COSTLY. WE'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT FORD HAS RECALLED MANY CARS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT THE 2010 FUSION WHICH MANY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH! I FIND IT ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THAT FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DID NOT RECALL THE 2010 FUSION. DRIVING A CAR THAT SUDDENLY LOSES IT'S STEERING IS DEFINITELY LIFE THREATENING...NO BETTER REASON THAN THAT FOR FORD TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FUSIONS!!

WARNING LIGHT APPEARED 3 DAYS AGO TO SERVICE POWER STEERING. WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING - ALMOST COULD NOT GET IT PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.DEALER BROUGHT OUT COMPUTER GOT THE STEERING UNLOCKED, SAID TO ADD SOME TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH WE DID. THAT WAS 2 DAYS AGO, THE STEERING STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN AND BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME, IT WAS LOCKED UP AGAIN. GOT SOME TRANSMISSION FLUID BUT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE STEERING. IT DID LOOK LIKE SOME FLUID HAD BEEN LEAKING ON THE PAVEMENT. BUT THIS IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY HAZARD - THERE WAS NO WARNING BETWEEN THE MESSAGE SAYING TO SERVICE IT AND WITHIN MINUTES THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND IT TOOK A LOT OF STRENGTH TO GET IT HOME. FORTUNATLEY, BOTH TIMES WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME AND NOT ON A FREEWAY SOMEWHERE. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR LOT WE PURCHASED IT FROM CAME OUT WITH A SMALL COMPUTER AND GOT IT TO WORKING AGAIN, SAID TO ADD SOME TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE THE TWO WORKED TOGETHER. WE DID THAT - WORKED ONLY 2 DAYS AND STEERING WENT OUT TODAY. IT IS MY GRANDDAUGHTERS CAR AND SHE NOR I REALLY HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT OR GET A NEW ONE AND SHE IS EXPECTING A BABY.
