The NHTSA has flagged safety issues that can affect Fusion Energi models, and addressing them promptly is essential for driver and public safety. For the 2018 Ford Fusion Energi, records show two separate recalls related to transmission key removal and high-voltage protection on hybrid components. The transmission-related recall warns that the key might be removable while the vehicle is not securely in Park, creating a rollaway risk that can cause injury or property damage. The hybrid propulsion recall warns that high-voltage components could be insufficiently shielded, increasing the potential for electric shock during normal operation. Ignoring either recall can expose you, your passengers, and bystanders to hazards and may affect your insurance coverage if an incident occurs while a known safety defect is unresolved.
