Recall Alert: 2013 Ford Fusion

868696880 1425510400184 jpeg

The affected vehicles, which were manufactured from Feb. 3 through Oct. 20, 2012, fail to conform to a federal motor vehicle standard regarding low-beam headlight projector coating. You can check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb.

The headlights in the affected vehicles could become hazy over time and not be as bright. This could lead to decreased visibility for the driver and an increased risk of a crash. 

Ford will notify owners starting next week, and dealers will replace the affected parts for free. Owners can call Ford at 866-436-7332 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.

This is the second recall in two weeks for the redesigned-for-2013 sedan, following last week’s recall of the Fusion’s 1.6-liter engine due to overheating.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
