Ford Fusion air filters: common questions

- Motorcraft FP-71A (single-zone climate) or FP-72 (dual-zone climate, from mid-2012 production).
Where is the cabin air filter on a Ford Fusion?
- Behind the glovebox; drop the glovebox door, 5-minute DIY.
How often should the cabin air filter be replaced on a Ford Fusion?
