Ford has announced the recall of 248,912 cars built between 2014 and 2016 after door latches have been found to fail, particularly when used in warm climates. In some cases, doors are unable to close properly, while others may come open while in use.
Cars included in the recall are the 2014 and 2015 Ford Fiesta, 2014 to 2016 Ford Fusion, and 2014 to 2016 Lincoln MKZ that are or have been previously registered in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, and federal territories.
If you own a recalled vehicle, dealers have been instructed to remove and replace the side door latches.
