Recall on Ford Fusion Airbags
Yes, there is a recall on Ford Fusion airbags. The recall covers certain model years and is related to Takata airbag inflators. The affected vehicles include the Ford Fusion 2006-2012, as well as several other Ford models such as the Ford Edge, Ford Ranger, and Mercury Milan.
The recall is due to the potential risk posed by the Takata airbag inflators, which could degrade and cause airbag rupture, leading to the possibility of metal pieces being propelled throughout the vehicle. Ford is committed to addressing serious safety issues and urging drivers to act quickly to address issues with the Takata airbags. The recall is expected to begin on April 1, 2021, and Ford will replace the driver-side airbag inflator or module with an alternate one, free of charge.
If you own a Ford Fusion within the affected model years, it’s important to take action and have the airbag issue addressed promptly to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road. If you have further questions or need assistance with the recall process, you can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
