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.

The affected floor mats may move and possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal.

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.

YET, THE 2011 AND 2012 MODEL YEARS HAD A FULL RECALL OF THE PART AT NO COST.

I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE HARD AND THE ABS ENGAGED. AFTER THAT, IT WAS LIKE MY BRAKES WERE ALMOST GONE. THEY ALMOST WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. SOMETIMES IT STAYS LIKE THAT FOR MANY DAYS. OTHER TIMES THE BRAKES COME BACK AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, A WEEK AGO, THE BRAKES NEVER FULLY CAME BACK. THEY ARE STILL 75% -80% GONE AFTER I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE HARD. I WAS IN MOTION BOTH ON A CITY STREET AND ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS NOT TURNING. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL THAT WAS JUST ISSUED: 19S54. HOWEVER, THIS RECALL DOES NOT SHOW UP UNDER MY VIN NUMBER. I CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NOTICE BECAUSE THE BUILD DATE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE AFFECTED DATE RANGE.
