A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

What P1299 means
Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-IIP1299 is a manufacturer-specific code: the second character is a 1, which under the OBD-II standard hands the definition to whoever built the vehicle. The same code can mean one thing on a Ford and something unrelated on a Hyundai. Any site that prints a single definition for it is guessing.
A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what Ford and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standardIs P1299 a known problem on Ford vehicles?
It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 189 manufacturer filings and 45 owner reports naming P1299 on 27 Ford model years (2016–2026). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.
Which Ford models does P1299 appear on most?
2018 Fusion (29 documents), 2017 Fusion (29 documents), 2019 Fusion (26 documents).
Does P1299 on a Ford mean it is recalled?
No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
