Vehicles Affected: 25 model-year 2017 Ford Fusion sedans manufactured between Sept. 27 and Sept. 28, 2016
The Problem: The left rear seatback’s pivot pins may have been improperly welded. In a crash, the welds may fail and luggage could enter the passenger compartment, injuring occupants.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the left-hand rear seatback frame for free.
What Owners Should Do: Ford will begin notifying owners on Jan. 9. Owners can call the automaker at 866-436-7332 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.

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.
