Recall Alert: 2016 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 700 model-year 2016 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans; only Fusions manufactured at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant between Sept. 3 and Sept. 13, 2015, and MKZs manufactured at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant between Sept. 3 and Sept. 12, 2015, are affected.
The Problem: Ford has initiated the safety compliance recall because the fuel tank might not have been manufactured properly and could crack in a crash, increasing the risk of a fire. “Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires associated with this issue,” the automaker said in a statement.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel tank for free.
What Owners Should Do: Ford has not yet released an owner notification schedule. Owners can call Ford at 866-436-7332 for more information.
