FUSION

Recall name: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Recall number: 12V553000

Recall date: 12/03/2012

Problem Summary: FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2013 FUSION VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 3, 2012, THROUGH OCTOBER 20, 2012, FOR FAILING TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBER 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY NOT HAVE HAD THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP PROJECTOR COATING PROPERLY CURED DURING ITS MANUFACTURING PROCESS.

Consequence: AN IMPROPERLY CURED PROJECTOR COATING WILL BECOME HAZY THROUGH OPERATION, OVER TIME, REDUCING THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LOW-BEAM LAMP. THIS MAY DECREASE DRIVER VISIBILITY AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Corrective Action: FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AT 1-866-436-7332.

This recall affects vehicles manufactured between 02/03/2012 and 10/20/2012.

COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKS MAY CAUSE THE ENGINES TO OVERHEAT AND LEAK FLAMMABLE ENGINE FLUIDS.

Corrective Action: FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ENGINE FOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKS AND REPROGRAM THE VEHICLE¿S POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WITH AN UPDATED CALIBRATION AND OVERHEAT STRATEGY SOFTWARE. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE TO OWNERS FOR THIS SERVICE. OWNERS WERE RECENTLY NOTIFIED TO CONTACT DEALERS TO ARRANGE FOR ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION AS FORD DEVELOPED A REMEDY.
