NHTSA recall 14V239000
Structure · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Due to an assembly misalignment between the exterior door handle and the door outer panel, the affected vehicles have doors that may be difficult to close or may possibly open while driving.
Why it matters: A door that opens unexpectedly may result in an unrestrained occupant falling from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the mounting of the door handles, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 30, 2014.
