2006 Mercury Milan recalls
Air bags: frontal, driver side, inflator module
NHTSA campaign 21V158000 · reported March 10, 2021 · Ford Motor Company · 2,602,668 vehicles potentially affected

The driver's side air bag inflator may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
- The risk

- The fix
- Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver-side airbag inflator or module with an alternate one, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 9, 2021 for the passenger side, and November 14, 2022 for the driver side. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/module
NHTSA campaign 19V904000 · reported December 18, 2019 · Ford Motor Company · 600,166 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles. The valves within the ABS Hydraulic Control Units (HCU) may react with brake fluids containing specific corrosion preventative additives. This reaction may cause the valves to not close properly.
- The risk
- If the valves do not properly close, additional brake pedal travel may be required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Ford will notify owners, and dealers will flush the brake system with DOT 4 fluid and install a new brake fluid reservoir cap. In addition, the HCU will be tested to detect a possible stuck valve condition, replacing the HCU as necessary. All services will be performed free of charge. The recall began April 1, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S54.

- The risk
- An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
