Ford Motor Company is recalling 14,452 of its 2019-2020 Fusion Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) because a component called the battery energy control module (BECM) can become damaged. This damage is caused by excessive voltage and current flow within the system. To resolve the issue, Ford is offering to replace the battery and update software, or provide a vehicle refund. An interim repair involving a fuse block replacement is also available while final parts are being sourced.
A damaged battery energy control module can cause the vehicle to suddenly lose drive power or even catch fire, which significantly increases the risk of a crash or personal injury.
You have 2 options:
Battery replacement and software update
