2010 FORD FUSION Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2010 Ford Fusion has two recalls of equal severity: wheel studs that can lose clamping force and fail, allowing a wheel to separate from the vehicle entirely, and a fuel tank that can crack and leak fuel or vapor, creating a fire risk. The wheel issue affects vehicles with 17-inch steel wheels, whether originally installed at the factory or fitted later as accessory replacements. A separated wheel can cause the driver to lose control. On the fuel side, a canister purge valve that does not operate correctly can cause pressure swings inside the metal fuel tank, eventually cracking the tank's upper surface. Fuel or vapor seeping from that crack can ignite if it contacts a heat or spark source.
