CHICAGO, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- Ford Motor Co. said Friday it is recalling more than 128,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans over concerns the wheel studs could crack and cause the wheels to separate, Detroit News reported.
The recall includes 128,616 2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milans, built from April 1 to April 30, 2009, and Dec. 1, 2009, through Nov. 13, 2010, with 17-inch steel wheels after at least six wheel separation incidents.
According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA), multiple stud fractures could occur at the wheel location while driving, and the driver may experience vehicle vibration and/ or wheel separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford said it's not aware of any crashes or injuries caused by the problem.
