Ford may have door striker bolts that are shorter than intended.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the doors latch. Here is what owners need to know.
These vehicles may have door striker bolts that are shorter than intended. Vehicles with shorter door striker bolts fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components" potentially resulting in the doors opening in the event of a crash.
If the doors open in the event of a crash, there is an increased risk of injury.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the door striker bolts, free of charge.
