Transport Canada recall 2023132 · manufacturer campaign 23S12

14 March 2023

Transport Canada lists: Fusion 2013–2018 · MKZ 2013–2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front brake hoses could fail and cause a progressive brake fluid leak. If this happens, the driver may experience a change in brake pedal feel and travel. This can cause reduced braking. Note: A brake fluid leak would cause the brake warning light to turn on. This recall doesn't affect models with a Hybrid engine. Vehicles repaired under Ford warranty extension program 22N02 already have updated brake hoses, and don't require this repair.

Why it matters

Reduced braking can cause an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the front brake hoses.

27 August 2019

Transport Canada lists: Edge 2015–2016 · Fusion 2013–2016 · MKX 2016 · MKZ 2013–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the electric power steering assist motor to the steering gear may corrode and break. This could cause a loss of power steering assist. This recall applies to vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador).

Why it matters

A loss of power steering assist may result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This 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 replace the bolts and apply a wax sealer. If one or more of the bolts are broken or missing, a new steering gear will be installed.

Transport Canada recall 2018130 · manufacturer campaign 18S08

14 March 2018

Transport Canada lists: Fusion 2014–2018 · MKZ 2014–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the steering wheel bolt torque retention feature may not fully engage into the steering shaft. If the bolt loosens, the steering wheel may appear to be loose, which could affect vehicle control. If a loose bolt is left unrepaired, the steering wheel may detach from the steering column, which could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the steering wheel bolt with a longer bolt.

29 March 2017

Transport Canada lists: Fiesta 2014 · Fusion 2013–2014 · MKZ 2013–2014

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the door latches may have a broken pawl spring tab. This could result in the door not latching correctly. As a result, doors which appear to be latched could unlatch while driving. This could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace all four door latches with a more robust part. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2015-175.

Transport Canada recall 2016601 · manufacturer campaign 16S42

1 December 2016

Transport Canada lists: Fusion 2013–2016 · MKZ 2013–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, deployment of the driver or front passenger seatbelt pretensioner in a crash may generate internal pretensioner temperatures that can degrade the tensile strength of the outboard seat belt anchor cable. This could result in the seat belt not adequately restraining the seat occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will apply a coating to protect the pretensioner's cables.

Transport Canada recall 2015177 · manufacturer campaign 15S14

28 April 2015

Transport Canada lists: Edge 2015 · Fusion 2013–2015 · MKZ 2013–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles registered and operated in areas where road salt is used on the roadways during winter months for extended time periods (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland-Labrador), corrosion may occur at the steering gear motor attachment bolts. Steering gear motor detachment from the gear housing could result in sudden loss of steering power assist. This would cause the Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control malfunction indicator lamps to illuminate. A vehicle experiencing a loss of steering power assist would revert to a manual steering mode which would require greater driver effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. A loss of steering power assist could ultimately result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will apply sealer and replace the steering gear motor attachment bolts as required. If one or more of the steering gear motor attachment bolds are broken or missing, a new steering gear will be installed in the vehicle.

Transport Canada lists: C Max 2013–2014 · Escape 2013–2014 · Fusion 2013–2014 · MKZ 2013–2014

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, sealant applied to the restraints control module could fail, allowing moisture to enter the module circuit board. This could cause corrosion to form, which will illuminate the airbag warning light and could affect restraint system function, potentially disabling airbags or other safety systems. This could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants in a crash where airbag deployment is warranted.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the restraints control module.

Transport Canada recall 2013425 · manufacturer campaign 13C09

27 November 2013

Transport Canada lists: MKZ 2013–2014

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 102 - Transmission Control Functions. The transmission may be shifted out of PARK without first depressing the brake pedal. This could result in inadvertent vehicle movement, which could cause a crash resulting in injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the transmission range sensor.
