Ford issues recall on C-MAX, Escape, Fusion, and Lincoln MKZ

By ,

Ford is recalling 82,962 vehicles in Canada due to a problem with the restraint system. Affected models include the Ford C-MAX, Escape and Fusion as well as the Lincoln MKZ -- all from the 2013-2014 model years.

In some cases, the sealant applied to the restraint control module could fail, allowing moisture to enter the module circuit board. This could lead to corrosion, which will illuminate the airbag warning light and potentially disable airbags or other safety systems.

Consequently, Ford dealers will replace the restraint control module.
