Wheels

Recall date December 5, 2011
Models affected
  • 2010 Ford Fusion
  • 2011 Ford Fusion
Units affected 8,220
Details

On certain vehicles, the 17 inch steel wheels, whether factory installed or sold as accessory replacement parts, may experience a reduction in wheel stud clamp load.

This can cause wheel stud failure, which could result in wheel separation.

A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash.

In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander.

These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will replace the lug nuts on all four wheels.

They will also inspect the rear brake rotors and replace them as necessary.
