In 2018, the Ford Motor Company announced its $25.5 billion planned cost cuts by 2022. It intended to accomplish this plan by discontinuing the production of every Ford car model, including Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, and Taurus, except the Mustang.
Ford wanted to move away from sedans and focus on selling trucks, SUVs (sports utility vehicles), and commercial vehicles.
True to its word, Ford did start phasing out all its non-Mustang cars. And by 2020—in an event that one blogger called “Sedanocalypse”—Ford ended its last remaining non-Mustang car line: the Ford Fusion.
One concern you likely have is how to ensure the safety of your discontinued car.
Suppose you own a 2014 Ford Fusion car or plan to buy a used one. In that case, you should know whether your vehicle (or prospective vehicle) has received proper maintenance.
Understandably, one of the first questions you might ask is, “Does it have any open recalls that have yet to be addressed?”
United States-based automobile manufacturers issue safety recalls for their motor vehicles to ensure that their vehicles, car seats, tires, and equipment follow the safety standards set by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
The reason for recalls may vary. Car companies, like the Ford Motor Company, may issue recalls due to minor issues, like malfunctioning cameras or lights.
On the other hand, they might also announce recalls to resolve more serious problems, like a transmission or rollaway failure, that might significantly increase the risk of a crash.
Ford car models have been subject to various safety recalls over the years, and the 2014 Ford Fusion wasn’t spared.
In fact, since 2006 (when the Fusion line first entered the market), Fusion cars have been subjected to many recalls due to faulty components, impacting their price and overall worth.
Whether you’re a long-time Ford Fusion enthusiast or someone about to be a first-time car owner of a 2014 Ford Fusion, you likely want to know what to do if your 2014 Ford Fusion is part of a recall.
Are you or the dealership responsible for resolving the situation? Can you refund the cost of the recall repair? How long will the recall process take?

Car Recall FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
How do I know if my 2014 Ford Fusion has a recall?
If you want to know if your 2014 Ford Fusion vehicle is part of a previously announced recall, check directly with your local dealership or visit Ford’s website.
Ford’s website offers a free Ford recall checker to see whether your vehicle requires servicing.
The website can also check recalls affecting other Ford Fusion model years and trims, including the Ford Fusion SE and Fusion SEL.
What do I do if I’ve gotten a recall notice?
If your 2014 Ford Fusion is affected by an open recall, it means that both the manufacturer and the NHTSA have identified a safety risk with your car. After checking your vehicle, you can contact your local dealership to schedule a repair.
If you own an affected vehicle, you will receive a letter that highlights the recall information and how to resolve the defects promptly, often at no cost.
The letter will explain the exact defect that caused the recall, the possible safety risks, the availability of the remedy parts, how to get your vehicle repaired, and whether your car is safe to drive in its current state.
However, remember that in many cases, the manufacturer won’t know if you own a vehicle affected by an ongoing safety recall, so you should regularly check with your dealer or the NHTSA website.
Do I pay for recall repairs?
Spare parts and repair services for safety recalls are free through your local Ford dealer.
How long does a recall take to fix?
The time required to fix a safety recall usually depends on the repairs needed.
A simple task like a software update typically takes less than an hour, but more complicated mechanical repairs may take days or even weeks. It’s always best to ask the dealership when you schedule a repair appointment.
Do you need a warranty for a recall?
Your 2014 Ford Fusion does not need to be under an active warranty to be eligible for a recall-related repair.
The dealer takes care of safety recalls on your 2014 Ford Fusion at no additional cost, even if the warranty has expired or you aren’t the vehicle’s original owner.
How long does a recall last on a car?
A safety recall will not expire if the auto manufacturer remains in business or continues making replacement parts.
In general, recalls can be remedied for free up to 15 calendar years after your vehicle’s manufacture date.
