Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2019 Fusion Energi Hybrid models. The affected vehicles may not adequately protect against direct and indirect contact of high voltage sources during normal operation. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 305, which covers electrolyte spillage and electrical shock protection for electric-powered vehicles.

The defect increases the risk of injury due to potential contact with high voltage sources. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install a Bus Electrical Center (BEC) cover over the high voltage fuses free of charge. The recall began on April 2, 2019.
