Is an antifreeze leak dangerous?

When should my Ford Fusion radiator be cleaned?

Cleaning your car shouldn’t be limited to the parts you can see. Regular cleaning is good for your radiator, too! When you take your Ford Fusion in for routine maintenance or service, it could be a good idea to opt for a radiator cleaning, too.

What can cause my Fusion to overheat?

Yes. Rust in the radiator of your Ford Fusion can impair its cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even result in complete failure of the radiator. Over time, rust can eat away at the radiator's cooling passages, forming tiny holes or cracks that can affect its operation. To help prevent rust from causing damage, you should stay on top of radiator maintenance.

When to Service Your 2007 Ford Fusion Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Ford Fusion radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. So, what happens when the radiator isn’t working quite like it should? You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2007 Ford Fusion is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. Ford recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.

When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’ll take excellent care of your 2007 Ford Fusion at Firestone Complete Auto Care. After all, we know it’s not just a car. It’s your car.
