Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles. The front brake hoses may rupture and leak brake fluid.

Power train, automatic transmission, gear position indication (prndl)Jun 10, 2022

A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Dealers will replace the under hood shift bushing and add a protective cap over the shift cable bushing, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters, informing owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 1, 2022. Remedy parts are expected to be available in 4th Quarter 2022.

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 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 Ford or Lincoln dealers will replace the side door latches, free of charge. The recall began September 21, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S15.

Road salt or other contaminants may corrode the electric power steering gear motor attachment bolts.
If the bolts corrode, the steering gear motor may detach from the gear housing resulting in a loss of power steering assist, requiring a greater steering effort, especially at lower speeds, and increasing the risk of a crash.

Power train, automatic transmission, lever and linkage, floor shiftMay 13, 2019
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Fusion vehicles equipped with 2.5 liter engines.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles manufactured February 3, 2012, to March 20, 2015, and 2015 Ford Edge vehicles manufactured February 26, 2015, to February 28, 2015, and originally sold, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. In the affected vehicles, snow or water containing road salt or other contaminants may corrode the electric power steering gear motor attachment bolts.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 14C11.

2015 FORD FUSION 'S' (EPAS) DEFECT. 50,200 MILES ON ODOMETER AT TIME OF OCCURRENCE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. FUSION'S 2.5L ENGINE (COLD) WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING AT REST FOR EIGHT HOURS. DISPLAY DEPICTED "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC". VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, EVEN WITH (PROPER) JUMP. ALL INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING WAS VERY BRIGHT. TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT BATTERY WAS "GOING BAD" AND TOLD OF $2086.00 FIX TO THE EPAS (ALONE). I WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY HAVING ANY STEERING ISSUES OR CONCERNS. NOTIFIED FORD INC. AND WAS ISSUED A "CAS" CASE NUMBER AND TOLD TO LOOK FOR AN EMAIL FROM THEM IN TWO DAYS WITH THEIR RESOLUTION DECISION, IF ANY. I AM NOT OPTIMISTIC. VEHICLE WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND ALWAYS GARAGED. SEVERAL OF MY SERVICE VISITS WERE AT MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS, SO MAYBE THAT WILL HELP MY CASE. A TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR REPAIR, ON A "GARAGE KEPT" THREE YEAR OLD CAR, WITH 50K MILES, ALBEIT OUT OF 3/36 WARRANTY, IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. LUCKILY, NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WAS INJURED/KILLED BY THIS DEFECT. SADLY, FORD'S REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM WILL OBVIOUSLY COST LIVES DOWN THE ROAD, DUE TO EPAS FAILURE, NOT TO MENTION FUTURE SALES.
