- Manufacturer's number: 14S16

## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2015 Transit cargo vans without rear seating positions manufactured March 12, 2014, to June 24, 2014 and equipped with windowless sliding doors.  The affected vehicles may have been manufactured without the epoxy reinforcement on the windowless sliding doors.


## What can happen

A sliding door without the epoxy reinforcement has an increased potential of unlatching in certain side impact crashes.  A door that unlatches may open, allowing for a vehicle occupant to be ejected in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement plate into the windowless sliding door, free of charge.  The recall began in September 22, 2014.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-800\-392\-3673.  Ford's number for this recall is 14S16.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
