Remember that old expression * hold on to your hats *, well now apparently some Ford owners have to hold on to their doors.
Ford recall affects 389,585 vehicles built between 2012 and 2014 model years. The recall involves faulty latches that may allow the doors to fly open while the car is being driven. The faulty part is actually called a pawl spring tab which can break, in turn results to doors that can't be latched.
All models affected by the recall were built in Ford's three Mexican plants, these models are:
* 2012 to 2014 Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlán Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 1, 2012, and May 31, 2013
* certain 2013 to 2014 Ford Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 1, 2012, to May 31, 2013
* certain 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ vehicles also built in Hermosillo from July 1, 2012, to May 31, 2013
Of the 389,585 vehicles under recall, 336,873 are believed to be in the U.S., 30,198 in Canada and 22,514 in Mexico. Ford dealers will replace all four door latches at no cost to the customer.
