## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2014 Ford Fiesta, 2013\-2014 Ford Fusion and 2013\-2014 Lincoln MKZ vehicles.  A component within the door latches may break 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.


## What can happen

A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace all four door latches, free of charge.  The recall began May 1, 2017.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 15S16.


## 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.
