2009 Ford Fusion Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Ford Fusion again pairs a 2.3L inline-four of 140 cubic inches with a 3.0L V6 of 181 cubic inches, both naturally aspirated twin-cam gasoline engines, in a four-door sedan offered as S, SE, SEL and SEL Plus. The four trims differ in equipment rather than in mechanical layout, which is why the book's chassis, brake and body sections are written once and its engine sections twice, one for each displacement.

Known issues on the 2009 Fusion. Seven recalls are on federal record. Five concern frontal air bag inflators, on the driver and passenger sides, that may rupture after prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. One addresses the anti-lock brake hydraulic control unit, whose valves can react with certain brake fluids so that extra pedal travel is needed to stop. The last covers all-weather floor mats that may shift against the accelerator. Owners have filed 1,022 complaints with NHTSA, led by the service brakes and the air bags. Brake hydraulics and restraint wiring are both covered in this manual.
