Service brakes, hydraulic, pedals and linkagesJan 13, 2022
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii. Exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity, and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to corrode and separate from the brake pedal.
A separated brake pedal bumper can cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously, causing confusion to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission vehicles, a missing brake pedal bumper can allow the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace the brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on March 4, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 13, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S02.

A SAFETY RECALL (16S42) WAS ISSUED FOR "SEATBELT PRETENSIONER CABLES MAY SEPARATE DURING DEPLOYMENT AND MAY NOT RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANTS IN A CRASH". ALL THE FORD DEALERSHIPS AROUND ME (ZIP 95008) SAY THEY CANNOT DO THE RECALL UNTIL JANUARY 2018. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED MUCH MORE QUICKLY. FORD SHOULD PROVIDE MORE PARTS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND ALLOW DEALERSHIPS TO DO THE REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THAT BY A DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO ONLY DO SO MANY OF THESE REPAIRS PER WEEK AND THAT IS WHY THEIR APPOINTMENTS ARE SO FAR OUT. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MYSELF AND MY KIDS AROUND UNTIL JANUARY OF NEXT YEAR IN A CAR WHERE THE SEATBELTS MIGHT NOT WORK.

THE REAR, MIDDLE SEAT BELT LOCKED WHILE THE SEAT WAS DOWN, TENSIONING THE BELT BEYOND THE POINT WHERE THE SEAT CAN BE USED. THE BELT CANNOT BE LOOSENED ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE SEAT BACK TO BE LIFTED INTO THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND OBVIOUSLY CANNOT BE USED TO RESTRAIN A PASSENGER. TENSION HAD TO BE RELEASED FROM THE BOTTOM SECURING BRACKET IN ORDER TO LIFT THE SEAT BACK SO THAT A PASSENGER CAN SIT IN THE WINDOW SEAT. AT THAT POINT THE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED WITH THE SEAT UP AND THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT CANNOT BE RELEASED TO BE USED.

RECALL 16S42. STILL WAITING ON A REMEDY FOR MY FORD FUSION HYBRID 2014. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE TAKING THIS LONG.
Seat belts, Apr 19, 2017
I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL IN NOVEMBER 2016 INVOLVING MY SEATBELTS BEING UNABLE TO PROPERLY RESTRAIN ME DURING AN ACCIDENT. IT IS STILL NOTATED THAT FORD HASN'T FOUND A REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN PATIENT CONSIDERING MY LIFE MAY BE ON THE LINE OVER THIS BUT I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CONSIDERING I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES PER DAY ON A COMMUTE TO WORK, I WOULD LIKE TO FEEL SAFE DOING IT AND KNOWING THAT MY SEATBELT MAY NOT RESTRAIN ME IS A HUGE PROBLEM. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO WHY THEY AREN'T FIXING THIS MAJOR ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT TO DATE BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IF ONE WAS TO OCCUR.
