The 2017 Ford Fusion has multiple NHTSA-recorded recalls that involve safety-critical systems; addressing these issues promptly reduces the risk of injury to you, passengers, and bystanders. Specific defects reported by NHTSA include transmission shifter cable bushings that can detach and permit removal of the key while the vehicle is not fully in Park (risk of rollaway), steering gear motor bolt corrosion that can lead to loss of power steering assist or impaired steering, seat belt anchor cable failures from pretensioner heat that may reduce occupant restraint in a crash, and defective restraint control module coatings that could prevent air bags from deploying as intended. Ignoring these recalls can increase the chance of a crash or injury and may complicate insurance claims.
