Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 112,225 of its 2014-2016 Transit Connect vehicles because a component inside the front door latch may crack. This defect can prevent the door from latching properly, which may result in a door opening unexpectedly. Owners of these vehicles should contact a Ford dealer to have both front door latches inspected and replaced if necessary at no cost.
A cracked latch pawl can cause the door to fail to latch or to come unlatched while the vehicle is in motion. If the door opens while driving, it significantly increases the risk of injury to occupants or others nearby.
Inspection and replacement of front door latches.
