Corrosion build-up at the pawl pivot area of the latch can cause the latch to bind.  The owner may experience difficulty opening or closing a rear door, and eventually the rear door may not latch properly.  If not latched properly the door may open while the vehicle is in motion.  Correction: Dealers will inspect the rear door latches.  A latch that passes the evaluation will be lubricated to prevent future corrosion.  A latch that does not pass the evaluation will be replaced.","mfr_campaign":"05S27","units":152181,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["FOCUS"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2005025"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"05V030000","date":"2005-02-01","manufacturer":"FORD MOTOR COMPANY","component":"LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH","summary":"CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH FOUR OR FIVE DOORS AND ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, A BUILD-UP OF CORROSION AT THE PAWL PIVOT AREA OF THE REAR DOOR LATCH CAN CAUSE A BINDING CONDITION OF THE PAWL THAT MAY AFFECT PROPER ENGAGEMENT OF THE PAWL INTO THE CATCH.
