EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle's side door latch mechanism may let water in, which can cause it to freeze in cold weather, leading to a problem with the door latch.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If left unfixed, the door latch pawl may not return to the correct position, and the door could open while you're driving, which could cause an accident.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
A Ford dealership will fix this issue for free by installing a shield over the front latches, sealing a drain hole in the rear window trim, and applying grease to the door latch mechanisms.
