- What is wrong
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.
- Risk
- If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Ford will notify owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid and install a new brake fluid reservoir cap. In addition, the HCU will be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition, replacing the HCU as necessary. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began April 1, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1‑866‑436‑7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S54.

The federal safety agency recall number: 19v904 applies to my vehicle and is now over a year old. The manufacturer has yet to issue a remedy. This is far too long for a recall to be in place and still not have a fix. Furthermore, the vehicle now has a second recall, 21v158. How long will this all take?

In more than one instance the brakes have suddenly gone "soft", making it very difficult to break. One time the driver went over a bumpy area in the road and two other times it occurred when the roads were wet. The most recent incident resulted in rear-ending another car. In the most recent incident, the driver was heading north on governor's square boulevard towards e. Magnolia drive in tallahassee, fl. It was raining lightly and the roads were wet. The driver was within the posted speed limit of 35 MPH. As the driver approached the intersection, the light was red. When the driver hit the brakes the pedal went "soft" and she had to push it as hard as possible to continuing braking. Though the car was slowing, it was not able to stop before the reaching other cars at the intersection. The result was that the car rear-ended another car which then pushed into another car in front. The drivers of the 2 other vehicles stopped, police came, and a crash report was issued. We determined it would be best to leave the car parked until it could be determined if the brakes would recover. When we returned the following day, the brakes appeared to be functioning properly, but in an abundance of caution, the driver is not driving the car. In the previous 2 occurrences of the brake problems, we brought the car to an auto repair shop. The first time, no problems could be found (date could be provided with auto records). The second time (around may 2017), it was diagnosed as a master cylinder and that was part was replaced and the repair completed. Between the first and second incident, the brake system was completely redone as regular maintenance on the car. So, the correction work performed and regular maintenance, were not successful in addressing the issue.
