Ford Recalls 390K Cars Over Doors That Can Fly Open

Ford has announced a new recall that affects roughly 390,000 vehicles. 

The issue is door latches which may not close properly, leading to the doors opening unexpectedly while driving. The 2012-14 Ford Fiesta, 2013-14 Ford Fusion and 2013-14 Lincoln MKZ are affected by the issue. All of the cars affected were built in Mexico.

Ford says it knows of two minor injuries that have occurred as a result of the issue while the company has received 69 complaints alleging that the door opened while the vehicle was in motion. One customer filed a complaint with NHTSA that says the doors “came flying open,” when they made a turn.

Ford dealers will replace the door latches on all four doors to fix the issue.
