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.

Consequence

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

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reinstall the panel with proper materials, free of charge. The recall began January 28, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 14S26.
