Ford Recalls Fusion, Milan for Wheels That May Fall Off

Ford Motor Co. is recalling 128,616 Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans to fix defective wheels that may fall off, the U.S. Transportation Department said. The cars’ wheel studs may fracture while driving, leading to “vibration and/or wheel separation, increasing the risk of a crash,” the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a notice on its website today. Ford will notify owners. Dealers will replace lug nuts on all four wheels and inspect rear-wheel disc brake surfaces and replace them as necessary for some of the sedans with the model years 2010 and 2011, the agency said.
