LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
Issued by Kiekert USA · Reported Mar 2, 2020 · 5,641,577 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Ford and Volvo are recalling cars built with certain Kiekert USA (Kiekert) C1A door latches. A component within the door latches may break as a result of excessive temperatures within the door, 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
A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury or the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford and Volvo have recalls to notify their owners, and their dealers will replace all four door latches, free of charge. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552.
