| Ford Issues Fusion and Mercury Milan Recalls Due to Fuel Tank Issue | | A recall has been issued on 2010 and 2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans due to faulty fuel tanks. According to the recall, the fuel tanks can leak, posing a risk of fire. The recall states that a purge valve has the potential to "cause the pressure to change inside the gas tank. As the pressure increases and decreases, a crack can develop in the top of the tank, allowing fuel to leak." The recall applies to 451,865 vehicles distributed by Ford in North America. Of those vehicles, 411,205 are believed to be in the U.S., 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
