What's wrong?
The 2019 Ford Fusion Energi uses a high voltage battery pack to store electrical energy for hybrid driving. Inside that pack, the Bus Electrical Center, or BEC, routes power through protected electrical connections and fuses. Those parts need covers and barriers so a person cannot contact high voltage areas during normal service access or vehicle operation.
On affected Fusion Energi vehicles, the carryover BEC design did not include the added cover needed for the updated electrical shock protection requirements. Testing found that an uncovered high voltage fuse was reachable through a gap near an access panel. That means the vehicle does not adequately protect against direct or indirect contact with high voltage sources.
There is no warning sign before failure because this is a protection and compliance problem, not a wear part that changes how the car drives. The issue is the missing BEC cover, so an owner is unlikely to notice a sound, light, or driving symptom before the repair.

What's the safety risk?
Contact with the high-voltage fuse area increases the risk of injury. Keep hands and tools away from high-voltage components, and schedule the recall repair soon. The dealer installs a Bus Electrical Center cover over the high-voltage fuses. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Ford Fusion Energi is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free Bus Electrical Center cover installation that shields the high voltage fuses from contact.
- Bring the recall notice if Ford mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V099 when you call.
- Avoid touching or servicing high-voltage components until the Ford dealer completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician installs a Bus Electrical Center cover over the high voltage fuses. That cover protects the fuse area from direct and indirect contact during normal vehicle operation. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the original warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 19V099?
Recall 19V099 covers 2,108 2019 Ford Fusion Energi vehicles that do not adequately protect occupants from direct and indirect contact with high voltage sources during normal operation. Ford dealers will install a Bus Electrical Center cover over the high voltage fuses for free.
What should I do if my 2019 Ford Fusion Energi is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Fusion Energi is included in recall 19V099. If it is, contact a franchised Ford dealer and ask for the Bus Electrical Center cover installation over the high voltage fuses. Reference Ford recall number 19C05 when you call.
Does the recall repair cost anything?
No. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost. Ford dealers will install the Bus Electrical Center cover over the high voltage fuses free of charge at any franchised Ford dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is injury from contact with high voltage sources. Ford reported that the affected Fusion Energi vehicles do not meet FMVSS 305 for electrical shock protection. The dealer repair adds a cover over the high voltage fuses to reduce that exposure.
When did the recall repair start?
Ford began the recall repair on April 2, 2019. Since the remedy is available, a franchised Ford dealer can install the Bus Electrical Center cover over the high voltage fuses once your VIN is confirmed in recall 19V099.
