2016 FORD FUSION Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Ford Fusion has 5 recalls, the most serious involving the transmission shifter cable bushing, which can degrade and detach, leaving the vehicle free to roll away if the driver exits without applying the parking brake. This shifter cable issue affects vehicles with both 2.5-liter and six-speed automatic transmissions, and prior repair attempts may not have fully resolved the problem across all affected vehicles. A separate recall covers door latches on vehicles sold or registered in warm-weather and high-humidity states and territories, where the latch mechanism can fail and allow doors to swing open while driving. On the occupant restraint side, the front seatbelt anchor cable can fail when the pretensioner fires in a crash, leaving front occupants without full belt restraint. A narrower recall affects a small number of vehicles built within a one-week window in March 2016, where the driver seat track riser may have an inadequate weld and can shift or collapse in a crash.
