2018 FORD FUSION
This model year
What the record shows
The 2018 Ford Fusion is the 13th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2006 to 2020.
NHTSA's best overall crash rating for this model year is 5 out of five stars.
The federal record holds 438 owner complaints, 2 safety recalls, 1 investigation and 149 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
