U.S. regulators open investigation on 2009-2011 Ford Fusion

U.S. safety regulators are investigating Ford Motor Co's Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans from the 2009 to 2011 model years for brakes that may fail in certain conditions, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Tuesday. There have been three reported crashes related to this issue, but no injuries, NHTSA and Ford officials said. The probe was opened on Dec. 20 and involves one of Ford's most popular models, the Fusion.
