true, nothing against Mexico - they just need to keep the Jobs here in the USA, especially now. I do understand certain Unionized individuals were uprooting the factories for years but now is the time to bring the Jobs back home - New Balance is a good example, they have shut down factories overseas and opened new ones here in America. my shoes actually say "made in America" and I love that. Toyota has even proved that good quality cars/parts can be built/assembled in America. like the Tundra and Camry!

Maybe the steel wheel models have a different set of brakes than the alloy wheel models. I'm just guessing here though.

Can't point too many fingers at the Fusion and Milan, though. This wheel-recall is simply a precaution....no actual wheels have actually fallen off in any documented cases. From the news-stories I saw this evening, it is directed at corrosion of wheel-mounting bolts, not pads...but none have actually caused any accidents.
The Fusion and Milan, otherwise, are excellent cars. They have had a well-above-average reliability record in their FWD versions (less so for the AWD), and have been highly recommended by Consumer Reports. I was especially well-impressed with the Fusion Hybrid when I reviewed it.

In fairness to Ford, Toyota/Lexus went through quite a recall pattern not too long ago. Although ours seems to be more of the nitpick stuff rather than major issues.
