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 2019395 · manufacturer campaign 19S25

12 August 2019

Transport Canada lists: Fusion 2015 · MKZ 2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the cables that attach the front seat belts could be damaged when the seat belt pretensioners deploy in a crash. As a result, the driver and front passenger seat belts may detach. Note: This an expansion of recall 2016-601.

Why it matters

A seat belt that detaches may not properly restrain an occupant in a crash. This could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to apply a coating to protect the front seat belt pretensioner cables.

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.

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 2015179 · manufacturer campaign 15C02

28 April 2015

Transport Canada lists: MKZ 2015

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The parking lamps are designed to operate at a higher light intensity to provide the required Daytime Running Lights (DRL) function. When the headlamps are activated, the parking lamp light intensity does not reduce from DRL intensity to parking lamp intensity as intended. The higher light intensity may adversely affect the vision of oncoming drivers during low light and night time conditions, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software.

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.
