## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2015 Fiesta, 2016 Fusion, and 2016 Lincoln MKZ vehicles sold, or ever registered in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands \(Saipan\), and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  A component inside the door latches may break, which can make it difficult to latch or possibly allow the doors to open while driving.


## What can happen

Vehicle doors opening unexpectedly while driving can increase the risk of a crash or injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect the door latch date codes and if necessary, replace all four side door latches, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed December 20, 2023.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 20S15.  This recall is an expansion of NHTSA recall number 20V\-177.


## Notes
