What happened

Ford is recalling certain 2014-2015 Ford Fusion, 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid, and 2015 Ford Fusion Energi vehicles because the ignition key can be removed even when the transmission is not in Park. This defect creates a safety risk because a driver may believe the vehicle is safely parked when it is not, potentially allowing the vehicle to roll away and strike people or other vehicles.

Ford will notify owners of affected vehicles, and authorized Ford dealers will repair the vehicles at no charge. The recall began on December 15, 2014. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 14C11 to arrange service.
