From CNN http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/14/news/companies/ford-steering-wheel-recall/index.html

“Ford is recalling 1.4 million vehicles because the steering wheels can become loose and even come off while driving.

The automaker says it is aware of two accidents and one injury that may have been caused by the problem.

 

The affected models are the Ford Fusion and the Lincoln MKZ, both from model years 2014-2018.

 

Ford (F) said the problem is that a steering wheel bolt could come loose, which could cause the steering wheel to potentially detach.

 

The company also announced a recall of another 6,000 vehicles due to a risk of fire from a clutch pressure plate fracture. But all those recalled cars are manual transmission cars, which are not commonly sold. The affected models are 2013-16 Ford Focuses and 2013-15 Ford Fusions.â€

 

From USAToday https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2018/03/14/ford-recall-fusion-lincoln-mkz-steering-wheel/423395002/

“The latest recall affects 1.3 million vehicles in the U.S., about 62,000 in Canada and about 14,000 in Mexico.

 

Ford dealers will fix these cars for free. Customers will be notified when they can visit for repairs.

 

The recall covers the 2014 through 2017 Fusion made at Ford's Flat Rock, Mich. plant from Aug. 6, 2013, through Feb. 29, 2016; the 2014 through 2018 Fusion made at Ford's Hermosillo, Mexico, plant from July 25, 2013, through March 5, 2018; and the 2014 through 2018 Lincoln MKZ made at the Hermosillo, Mexico, plant from July 25, 2013, through March 5, 2018.â€

Love my Fusion, but seriously it feels like it is always being recalled for something.  :huh:

Loved my Fusion, until the computer died and was a $1,200 repair that when we researched it, found out it’s a known issue for several years but Ford wasn’t doing much to fix it on the production end.

Ugh this affects my car and there is another recall from last year that has to do with the engine overheating that they haven’t fixed yet

ETA: mine is a 2013 so supposedly not effected (yet)
