Ford Motor Company Issues Safety Compliance Recall on Select 2019 Fusion Energi Vehicles

DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 19, 2019 – Ford is issuing a safety compliance recall for select 2019 Ford Fusion Energi vehicles that do not meet the enhanced level of high voltage access protection required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 305.
