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.
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.

Steering, Jun 22, 2017
PREVIOUSLY HAD ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING AT ABOUT 90,000 MILES. SPENT $1500.00 TO REPLACE RACK AND PINION. A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR LATER NOW READING 155,700 MILES I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I DRIVE DAILY ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS PUSHING 70MPH FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AT A TIME. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY ON A BACK ROAD WHEN "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL CONTROL OF STEERING. COULD BE KILLED DRIVING TO WORK WHEN I THOUGH I ALREADY REPLACE THE PROBLEM JUST TO HAVE IT MESS UP 50 THOUSAND MILES LATER.
