Risk if Unfixed
If a door isn't properly latched, it could swing open while you're driving, putting you or a passenger at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will check if the door latches were fixed correctly and replace them if needed – at no cost to you. You can also check your latches online or contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 for more info.
