drolds1 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Out of the almost 1.5 million vehicles sold, there were 45 actual complaints to the NHTSA. Not worth losing sleep over it. Rushing to get it done won't change anything. More likely to get in an accident with some teenage girl who's texting. Two accidents; 1½-million cars. It's not keeping me up at night either.

Airflow Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Agreed. It’s real, but this stuff gets blown out of proportion. drolds1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris109 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) But, then again, I have a 2013, so I don't have to worry about totaling my car by driving into a manhole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BJcM7oWcyQ Edited March 21, 2018 by Chris109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimflutes Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Stopped by the dealership ( Pittsfield MA ) today and the parts for recall are in , they said it takes 45 mins. at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcgliss Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) I had the recall done at the same time they replaced the weak battery - but now my Air Bag Light is illuminated. Work has kept me from going back to the dealer (and have been driving a work vehicle). Edit: Took the car back and they connected an electrical contact that was not seated. Air Bag Light no longer illuminated. Edited May 6, 2018 by jmcgliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Iggy Cerami Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I just had my car picked up for my first service ( a valet picked up the car not a flat bed like I thought :cry: ) My service advisor told me that my car was not on the recall list when he ran my VIN.. Thought all the models MKZ/FUSION were on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzingGuy Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I went in for a oil change today, and they performed my recall service. The total time with oil and recall was about 90 minutes. Robert Iggy Cerami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBrown Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 They applied the "fix" today when I had it in for service. Another thing that I don't need to worry about. :) Robert Iggy Cerami and Airflow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey_Reserve Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Had mine done today. My steering wheel never felt loose. Airflow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwonder Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm yet to get a recall letter or alert on my Lincoln Owner account for my 2017 MKZ. Hmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcondo Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Went to local Ford Quick Lube for oil change yesterday. They did recall and never told me until I paid. "It's only a small bolt - only takes a minute" per the advisor. Saved me some time as I had an appointment at Lincoln later this month.

crushalot Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I got the notice for my 2014 Fusion but not for my 17 MKZ. Does anyone know if they ever stated the exact build date range? My 17 MKZ was one of the last batches to roll off the 17 line. It was built in August 2017. I think they re-tooled the line and started assembling 18's in September.

crushalot Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Thanks drolds1 My car was definitely built at that plant during that time but no notice in mail and nothing on my owner page on the Lincoln site about an active recall. A bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Thanks drolds1 My car was definitely built at that plant during that time but no notice in mail and nothing on my owner page on the Lincoln site about an active recall. A bit odd. Same here. I wonder if they're going by MY or some cars were just not included. Note the term "some cars" from this CR article online: Vehicles recalled: 1,301,986 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans: Some 2014-17 Fusion sedans built at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 6, 2013 through Feb. 29, 2016. Some 2014-18 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, from July 25, 2013 through March 5, 2018. From this, I infer that not 100% of the cars are included. The mystery continues. I suppose a call to the Lincoln Concierge might clear things up.

jmcgliss Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I did see a notice on my Lincoln Way phone app. which no longer appears after having the work done. The job did not take them long, while I waited for a new battery to be installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrross Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 New battery eh? my 2016 just stranded me recently as the battery would not crank. roadside assistance provided a boost and tomorrow its going in to test the strength of the cells ( in addition to changing the plastic painted trim around the rear windshield that is peeling) Not impressed that a 2 year old car has these issues so soon.... Tow driver said there are way to many draws on these batteries these days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
