What is the LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH recall for the 2015 FORD Focus? (Campaign #20V331000)

The door latches in your vehicle are the parts that secure your doors shut. In some models, these latches might break, making it hard to close the doors properly. If a door isn't fully latched, it could swing open while you're driving, putting you or your passengers at risk of injury. Your Ford dealer will check the door latches to make sure they were fixed correctly the first time. If not, they'll replace them with new ones – for free. You'll get a notice with instructions on what to do next, and you can also check the latches yourself using a website.
