Description of the problem | A door latch with a fractured pawl spring tab typically results in a "door will not close" condition. A door that opens while driving increases the risk of injury. As of 9/2/16, ford's investigation into this concern has identified a total of one alleged accident and three alleged injuries that ford believes may be related. One alleged injury was to an occupant's arm from a door that reportedly opened and bounced back. Another injury involved a driver who alleged her hand was injured when trying to grab a door that opened. The third injury was to an occupant who allegedly received scratches from a rear door that opened while driving. Ford has no further information relating to these reports. The alleged accident occurred after the driver's door reportedly opened in a parking lot and resulted in bumper damage, but ford has no additional information. |
