The 2016 Ford Fusion has multiple NHTSA-recorded recalls that directly affect occupant safety; addressing them promptly reduces the risk of severe outcomes. For example, several transmission and parking-brake related recalls describe a degraded shifter-cable bushing that can allow the ignition key to be removed when the transmission is not in Park, creating a rollaway hazard. Steering and power-steering campaigns note potential corrosion or loose bolts that can reduce or eliminate steering assist or cause detachment, increasing crash risk. Fuel tank and fuel delivery module recalls warn of possible fuel leaks after a crash, which raises the risk of fire. Seat-belt pretensioner and seat-track weld recalls identify circumstances where occupant restraints may not function as intended in a crash. The NHTSA has issued formal campaigns for these components; remedies are issued free by Ford. Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg prioritizes safety: our factory-trained technicians will explain the specific defect, confirm NHTSA campaign numbers, and complete any required repairs at no charge. If parts are pending we provide interim guidance and recommend using the parking brake and avoiding conditions that raise risk until your vehicle is repaired.
