Vehicle Recall: Ford Fusion Sedans

Estimated reading time: seven (7) minutes.

Canada/Ottawa: Transport Canada, an Ottawa, Ontario regulatory and safety authority, recalls an estimated 3,198 model year 2020 and 2021 Ford Fusion Sedans marketed, sold and delivered in Canada.

On certain Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (“PHEV”), the High-voltage Battery Energy Control Module can become damaged. If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the Wheels or the Control Module could overheat.

Transport Canada reports a loss of power to the Wheels could increase the risk of a crash, motor vehicle collision (“MVC”) or other impact event with consequential serious injury and/or life-changing results.

In addition, a Battery Energy Control Module that overheats can create the risk of a fire with consequential risks of burns, scalds, explosive blast injury, smoke inhalation and/or respiratory and/or cardiac injury and other serious injury and/or life-changing results.

If you have a crash-related medical emergency, please contact 9-1-1, your closest hospital or emergency center equipped to properly treat lacerations, concussions, bone fractures, amputation, central nervous system (“CNS”) damage and/or internal injuries.

Similarly, if you have a fire-related medical emergency, please contact 9-1-1, your closest hospital or emergency center equipped to properly treat burns, scalds, explosive blast injury, smoke inhalation and/or respiratory and/or cardiac injury.

==> No VINs, item numbers, manufacturing date codes, production dates, regulatory approval designations, registration numbers, agency approval designations or other identification numbers were listed with this recall notification.

Proposed Remedy:
Ford Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to an Authorized Dealership to replace the Fuse Block for the Battery Energy Control Module. The Dealer will also update the BECM Software.

When the final repairs are available, Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to an Authorized Dealership to replace the High-voltage Battery.

To mitigate the safety risk, Ford advises you not to charge your vehicle until the recall repairs are completed.
