Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 45,173 vehicles, including certain 2015 Fiesta, 2016 Fusion, and 2016 Lincoln MKZ models. A internal component in the door latches can break, which may prevent the doors from latching properly or cause them to unexpectedly open while the vehicle is in motion. This recall specifically affects vehicles sold or ever registered in several warm-weather states and U.S. territories. Ford dealers will inspect the door latch date codes and replace all four side door latches if necessary, free of charge.
If a door latch component fails, the vehicle door may open unexpectedly while you are driving, which significantly increases the risk of a crash or injury to occupants.
