Recall Alert: 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta, 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 337,000 model-year 2012-14 Ford Fiesta, 2013-14 Ford Fusion and 2013-14 Lincoln MKZ vehicles. Only Fiesta vehicles built at the Cuautitlán, Mexico, Assembly Plant between Feb. 1, 2012, and May 31, 2013 and Fusion and MKZ vehicles built at the Hermosillo, Mexico, Assembly Plant between July 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013 are affected by this recall.
The Problem: A broken pawl spring tab in the doors could cause the door to not latch, increasing the risk of injury. “Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space,” the automaker said in a statement.
The Fix: Dealers will replace all four door latches for free.
What Owners Should Do: Ford has not yet released an owner notification schedule. Owners can call Ford at 866-436-7332 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 for more information.
