Ford return spring for the driver side interior door handle may come loose, allowing the driver's door to unlatch in a side impact crash.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the doors latch. Here is what owners need to know.
The return spring for the driver side interior door handle may come loose, allowing the driver's door to unlatch in a side impact crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
If the door unlatches in a crash it can increase the risk of injury.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver-side interior door handle and repair the return spring, as necessary, free of charge.
