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.

Service brakes, Jun 21, 2017
WHEN IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN STOPPED, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO FULLY ENGAGE BRAKES. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DECELERATION BECAUSE THE PEDAL RESISTANCE CHANGES IN THE MIDDLE OF BRAKING, OFTEN INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANCE. WHEN IN MOTION AND DECELERATING, THE BRAKE PEDAL RESISTANCE WILL SUDDENLY BECOME SOFTER AND THE CAR WILL STOP DECELERATING UNLESS I PRESS THE PEDAL IN FARTHER. WHEN STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL, THE BRAKES WILL BECOME SOFT AND THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO ROLL FORWARD UNINTENTIONALLY. I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING FORWARD. THIS ISSUE WORRIES ME WHEN I AM DRIVING IN AREAS WITH MANY STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS.
