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.

These vehicles were previously recalled and repaired under recalls 15V-246, 16V-643 or 17V-210, however the repair may not have been completed properly. A component within the door latches may break making the doors difficult to latch and/or leading the driver or a passenger to believe a door is securely closed when, in fact, it is not.
A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the latch date codes to confirm if the repair was done correctly, and replace the side door latches if necessary, free of charge.

IN A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR CERTAIN FOR FUSIONS MANUFACTURED FOR 2013 MODEL YEAR TO 31-OCT-2013.

THIS CONDITION WILL TYPICALLY PREVENT THE DOOR FROM LATCHING. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHERE THE DOOR IS ABLE TO BE CLOSED, THE DOOR MAY UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. WHEN WE CALLED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WE WERE DIRECTED TO CALL FORDS CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS DEPARTMENT.

BUT THE FACT THAT THE SAME ISSUE, WHICH HAD A RECALL BY FORD, WAS TURNED DOWN AND NOT EVEN SUGGESTED TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE ISSUE AND REPORT BACK TO FORD CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS A COMPLETE INFORMED REPORT TO UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE AT HAND WOULD BE THE LEAST THEY COULD DO WITH REGARDS TO THE CUSTOMERS SAFETY.

A PART FOR MY CARS 'SHIFTING CABLE' HAS BEEN RECALLED SEVERAL TIMES, PRIOR TO THE RECALL I HAD TO PERSONALLY PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE SAID SHIFTING CABLE. AT THIS TIME MY CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE SEVERE/DANGEROUS SHIFTING PROBLEMS. EX: WHEN I'M DRIVING AND IT'S NEEDS TO SHIFT GEARS THE CAR JERKS INCREDIBLY HARD. WHEN I STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE I GET NOTHING LIKE THE CAR HAS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. PEDAL TO THE FLOOR CAR WILL NOT GO. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS CAN/COULD CAUSE A SEVERE WRECK, HURTING MY SELF MY CHILDREN, AND OTHER DRIVERS. THIS PART I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE AS EVERY TIME I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO FORD THE PIECE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IS NOT SPECIFICALLY THE PROBLEM BUT IN THE SAME AREA. I'M AT A LOSS ON HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION. I'M REACHING OUT WITH GREAT CONCERN.

I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE ENGINE AND CONSULTED THE OWNER'S MANUAL WHICH ADVISED RESTARTING THE ENGINE AFTER WAITING AT LEAST 10 SECONDS. WHEN THE SAME SERIES OF ALERTS RECURRED, DESPITE THE LACK OF POWER STEERING I DROVE IT TO BORGMAN FORD MAZDA IN GRANDVILLE, MICHIGAN.

I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT "FIX" WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER ANY FORD MOTOR WARRANTY OR RECALL AND THAT THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR WAS $2200! CONTACTING FORD MOTORS' CUSTOMER SERVICE DIRECTLY PROVED FRUITLESS SINCE MY WIFE WAS TOLD THAT FORD MOTORS WAS UNABLE/UNWILLING TO OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT BUT THEY DID STRONGLY "SUGGEST" THAT WE HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED BUT TO "SAVE OUR RECEIPTS" JUST IN CASE AT SOME FUTURE TIME A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM WAS ISSUED. ODOMETER MILEAGE- 39700. *** THIS VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED AND SERVICED FOR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S08 / NHTSA RECALL 18V-167 (STEERING WHEEL ATTACHMENT BOLT REPLACEMENT) WHICH WAS PERFORMED ON 7/24/2018.
