DETROIT (AP) -- Ford Motor Co. is offering free upgrades to U.S. and Canadian hybrid customers to improve their fuel economy.
?
? ?The company plans to recalibrate the vehicle control systems on 77,000 Ford C-Max and Fusion hybrids and Lincoln MKZ hybrids from the 2013 model year.
?
? ?Some customers have complained that the cars aren't getting the 47 mile-per-gallon fuel economy promised in Ford's advertising.
?
? ?Ford will increase the maximum speed the cars can be driven in electric mode from 62 to 85 miles per hour.
?
? ?It also plans to make better use of the grille shutters, which improve aerodynamics; reduce the electric fan speed; shorten the engine warm-up time and minimize use of the air conditioning compressor.
?
? ?Ford will notify owners next month. It won't say how much it's spending on the upgrades.
