As a result of the previous post about our 2010 I-4s sometimes continuing to crank W/O starting, (2010 4 cly. keeps turning over), I spoke with my service manager at Ford. There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) out on this problem. It is TSB 09-19-1. Apparently there is a ground strap near the engine that is causing the problem. They replace it with an up-dated version and that is supposed to eliminate the no start issue. Mine is on order. This is warranty work and therefore it is of no cost to the owner. Just call your dealer, refer them to the TSB number, they will order the part, and install it under warranty. It doesn't take long ( 0.4 hr.) and you could probably wait while they install it. The reason for the no start issue is a little technical, but suffice it to say that the new grounding strap is supposed to eliminate the issue. Hope this settles this concern.

Does this pertain to the 2010 only?

The TSB indicates 2010 Ford Fusion 2.5L four cylinder. No mention of other years or engines. It also covers the 2010 Mercury Milan w/ same engine. The TSB does indicate that it supersedes TSB 9-15-10. I don't know what that TSB specifically says but one can assume it is basically the same. Your dealer can tell you what 9-15-10 refers to.
