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. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S34.

The affected floor mats may move and possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal.
The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new replacement mats, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Ford's customer service at 1-800-392-3673. 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.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST IS THROWING FAULTS, MAKING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE. RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR OTHER FORD MODELS WITH THIS EPSA SYSTEM. LAST CAR CHECKUP RETURNED NO FAULT MESSAGES (CAR WAS SERVICED FOR NEW TIRES AND POINT INSPECTION LAST WEEK OF JUNE 2018). THE FAULT USUALLY OCCURS ON INITIAL STARTUP. PER THE USER MANUAL, UPON A FAULT OCCURRING YOU SHUT OFF THE CAR AND WAIT 10 SECONDS FOR THE POWER SYSTEM TO RESET, THEN RE START THE CAR. USUALLY THE FAULT WILL GO AWAY BUT NOW IT IS MORE PERSISTENT. THE FAULT WILL NOT GO AWAY BY DRIVING IT OFF. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE ROUGHLY $1500 REPAIR THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. MOST REPORTS POINT TO A FAULTY SENSOR. FAULT MESSAGE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF THE EPSA REGARDLESS OF IF IT IS MECHANICALLY SOUND OR NOT, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR BUSY DOWNTOWN STREETS. RISK OF ACCIDENT IS DRAMATICALLY INCREASED WITH THIS FAULT.
