Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Ford Fusion vehicles, 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid vehicles, and 2015 Ford Fusion Energi vehicles. The affected vehicles were manufactured between July 27, 2013, and October 31, 2014, with specific manufacturing windows for the Hybrid and Energi models. In total, 56,479 vehicles are affected by this recall.

The recall addresses a defect where the key may be able to be removed even while the transmission is not in Park. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention." If the key is removed while the vehicle is not in Park, a driver may mistakenly believe the vehicle is safety parked, which increases the risk of a vehicle rollaway that could strike and injure the driver, other occupants, or bystanders.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
