Transport Canada recall 2021029 · manufacturer campaign 21S12

27 January 2021

Transport Canada lists: Edge 2007–2010 · Fusion 2006–2012 · Ranger 2007–2011 · MKX 2007–2010 · and 3 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.

Why it matters

If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

Transport Canada lists: Fusion 2006–2010 · MKZ 2006–2010 · Zephyr 2006–2010 · Milan 2006–2010

What is wrong

On certain cars, a problem with the hydraulic control unit for the anti-lock brake system (ABS) could cause increased brake pedal travel.

Why it matters

Increased brake pedal travel could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to inspect the ABS module assembly. The system will be flushed with DOT 4 brake fluid, and if necessary, the hydraulic control unit will be replaced. Dealers will also replace the DOT 3 reservoir cap with a new DOT 4 cap.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.

Why it matters

If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag inflator replaced. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected. Additional note: This recall supersedes recalls 2016-347 (Ford Safety Improvement Program 16S26), 2017-024 (Ford Recall 17S01) and 2018-035 (Ford Recall 18S01). Vehicles repaired under the previous recalls do not require repair under this recall.

Fuel System

Transport Canada recall 2015554 · manufacturer campaign 15S34

23 November 2015

Transport Canada lists: Fusion 2010–2011

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with Canister Purge Valves (CPV's), the valve may not operate properly. This could result in pressure changes inside the fuel tank which may result in a fatigue crack in the upper surface of the metal fuel tank, resulting in seepage of fuel, or fuel vapor. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the canister purge valve and tank.

28 May 2014

Transport Canada lists: Fusion 2006–2011 · MKZ 2006–2011 · Zephyr 2006–2011

What is wrong

A safety defect may exist in Ford aftermarket all-weather floor mats sold as accessories or service replacement parts for 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, Lincoln Zephyr, and Lincoln MKZ vehicles. The floor mats are secured by a single retention device, which could allow the driver's floor mat to move out of position and interfere with the accelerator pedal. If this occurs, the accelerator pedal could fail to return to idle. This could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace Ford aftermarket all-weather floor mats with an updated design having two retention devices.

Wheels

Transport Canada recall 2011424 · manufacturer campaign 11S23

5 December 2011

Transport Canada lists: Fusion 2010–2011

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the 17 inch steel wheels, whether factory installed or sold as accessory replacement parts, may experience a reduction in wheel stud clamp load. This can cause wheel stud failure, which could result in wheel separation. A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the lug nuts on all four wheels. They will also inspect the rear brake rotors and replace them as necessary.

Transport Canada lists: Escape 2010 · Fusion 2010

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the automatic transmission's park rod guide retention pin may not have been properly installed. If the pin not installed properly, the park rod guide may become displaced, preventing the transmission park pawl from engaging when shifted into "PARK". This could allow vehicle movement and result in property damage or personal injury to bystanders.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install the missing park rod guide retention pin.

What is wrong

Ford Canada is conducting a voluntary Safety Improvement Program involving passenger airbag inflators in certain vehicles that were originally sold or ever registered in certain high humidity areas of the United States equipped with Takata airbags. Ford will replace the driver or passenger inflator on affected vehicles, depending on the vehicle involved. Owners who believe their vehicles may have been originally purchased or registered in the states of New Jersey, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands should contact a Ford dealer. This action is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Note: This Safety Improvement Program is superseded by recall 2019005 (Ford Recall 19S01). Please see <a href="http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/detail.aspx?lang=eng&&rn=2019005">recall 2019005</a> for more information.
