Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles are equipped with sliding door panels that may have an improper bond strength between the plastic panel and paint primer. This could cause the door panel to separate from the vehicle while driving.

Why it matters: If the plastic sliding door panel separates while driving, it can increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reinstall the panel with proper materials, free of charge. The recall began January 28, 2015.
