A component within the door latches may break making the doors difficult to latch and/or leading the driver or a passenger to believe a door is securely closed when, in fact, it is not.
CONSEQUENCE SUMMARY: A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
CORRECTIVE SUMMARY: Ford will notify owners, and Ford or Lincoln dealers will replace the side door latches, free of charge. The recall began September 21, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S15.
