• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Fusion”, “Fusion Pre-2004½ Model Year”, “Fusion 2004½ to 2005 Model Year”, “Fusion 2004½ Model Year Onwards”. How we use VCA’s figures.

All 5 Ford Fusion recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Ford Fusion. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
