Here are the 'Cliff Notes' version: Select 2014-18 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for loose steering wheel bolts that could lead to a steering wheel detaching from steering column Ford is issuing a safety recall in North America for approximately 1.3 million 2014-18 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for potentially loose steering wheel bolts that could result in a steering wheel detaching from the steering column. In affected vehicles, the steering wheel bolt may not maintain torque, allowing the bolt to loosen over time, and if not serviced, a steering wheel could potentially detach and lead to a loss of steering control and increased risk of a crash. Ford is aware of two accidents with one injury allegedly related to this condition. Affected vehicles include: 2014-17 Ford Fusion vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 6, 2013 to Feb. 29, 2016 2014-18 Ford Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, July 25, 2013 to March 5, 2018 2014-18 Lincoln MKZ vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, July 25, 2013 to March 5, 2018 The recall involves approximately 1,378,637 vehicles in North America with 1,301,986 in the United States and federalized territories, 62,479 in Canada and 14,172 in Mexico. The Ford reference number for this recall is 18S08. Dealers will replace the steering wheel bolt on the vehicle with a longer bolt with more robust thread engagement and larger nylon patch placed properly for proper torque retention— at no cost to customers.

The wheel (or rim) size will not change the speedometer readout, it's the overall tire size that will affect the speedometer. So you will obviously have a lower profile tire size with a 20" wheel, and the tire size will be closer to the stock tire diameter. The 20" tire size that you can fit on your Fusion will depend on the new wheel width and offset. So there will be minimal overall change in tire diameter size that will affect the speedometer.

Damn, that is impressive! Give that car a rest every now and then.

It's been done, read below. ,

Huge improvement, great decision to buy it.

I just did the 'Threaten to Cancel' phone call on the 9th. I always get either the 5 months for $25, or 6 months for $30 deal, and this is on my 07 Fusion. Got the 6 month deal this go 'round, which is what I prefer, an extra month before the call again. And just if anyone doesn't know, the phone call usually lasts 7 or 8 minutes from start to hang up. It only took me 6 minutes this time. Royalty fee went up from my last 5 month deal: The royalty fee was $3.37 for 5 months back in August of 2017. [.67.4 cents a month] This time the royalty fee is $4.16 for the 6 month deal. [69.3 cents a month] That's not much of an increase, now is it?

New Ford incentives come out on January 3rd, that 2017 may get a nice $$ boost at that time. If you can wait until Monday, you might save another $1000 or so.

Why so much detail????????? C'mon, you'll have to explain a lot more than that for any assistance.

Look at page 77 of your owners manual, there is a 'Compass Zone/Calibration Adjustment' procedure that you can try.

Disconnecting the battery will reset the PCM, and that simple effort can reset all sorts of electrical issues. Leave the cables disconnected for a while, reconnecting the battery too quickly will not do a full reset and may not correct your radio issue.

If you have the original battery, get a new one. The airbag light is an early sign of a weak battery.

The trunk amp powers it all.

My SCT X3 programmer for up for sale, $220 shipped to lower 48. Works on 2006-2009 Ford Fusion 2.3 or 3.0 engines. It also works on other vehicles, assure it's compatible with the vehicle you're purchasing it for.

The stock amp is behind the trunk panel on the passenger side.

Best price is probably Ebay, there are a few sets for $190 shipped. Same price on Amazon too, use Google for best prices. I had one headlight with moisture in it too, and installed a new set. They look so much better than the partly cloudy headlights that I replaced.

Do you have the Audiophile (8 speaker) system? That system has RBDS, which allows you to search for specific music categories, and display artist and song information on the display. RBDS is the first press option under the Menu options. If so, and RSDS is turned OFF, then Bass would be the third press of the menu button, followed by Treble, then Balance, then Fader. If so, and RSDS is turned ON, then Bass would be the fifth press of the menu button, followed by Treble, then Balance, then Fader. The regular 6 speaker system would probably be Bass on the first or second press of the menu button. I'm guessing on this one though.

We all know by now how Photobucket has ruined forums all over the web by their grab for cash from its users. Well, we can once again view the Photobucket pictures that were posted in forums. It seems there is a way around the Photobucket bastards. Go to Extensions in your browser, and search for Photobucket Fix. In Chrome, Photobucket Embedded Image Fix worked.For Firefox, Photobucket embed fix worked.Those are the two browsers that I tried, but other browsers have similar Extensions.Hopefully this will last a loooong time.

The pure greed of Photobucket has ruined forums all over the Interweb.

Maybe this is what you're looking for. Click on the right smaller picture under the blown up view for a darker picture.

As stated above, you need to hook up an OBDII scanner and pull any stored codes, otherwise we're all just guessing as to the cause.

The Latch can be ordered at your local Ford dealer or online, two screws inside the box to replace it. Search Ford 5F9Z-7406162-AAD, it can even be ordered from Amazon.

You can simply buy a radio on Ebay (or forum classifieds) and replace it yourself. It's a simple repair if you're able. No programming will be necessary if you get a simple replacement radio.
