Which Ford Fusion generation do you have?

Specifications change at generation boundaries, not every model year. Two cars four years apart often take the identical oil, filter, and battery. These are the generations we hold data for.

About the Ford Fusion

The Ford Fusion is a mid-size sedan that Ford sold in the US from 2006 through 2020, when the whole car segment was sacrificed to the SUV boom. This file covers 2012, the last model year of the original 2006-body Fusion, through 2020, the CD4-generation's final year. 5L hybrid; its main documented weak spot is an electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) module that can suddenly cut out (recall 15V-340).

5L automatics could let the transmission slip out of Park (19V-362, expanded 22V-413), and corroded steering-gear motor bolts could kill power steering assist (19V-632), on top of a huge multi-model Ford door-latch campaign. 7L EcoBoost V6 Sport with standard AWD. Across the CD4 years the bolt pattern is 5x108, the key fob takes a CR2032, and the 6F35 automatic and electric power steering are shared by nearly every engine. Ford ended US Fusion production after the 2020 model year.
