Ford / Lincoln recall: Latches/locks/linkages

What is wrong

A component inside the door latches may break, which can make it difficult to latch or possibly allow the doors to open while driving.

What could happen

Vehicle doors opening unexpectedly while driving can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the door latch date codes and if necessary, replace all four side door latches, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 20, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S15. This recall is an expansion of NHTSA recall number 20V-177.
