Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2011-2014 Fiesta, 2013-2014 Fusion, 2015 Mustang, 2013-2015 Escape and C-Max, 2012-2015 Focus, 2014-2016 Transit Connect, 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ, and 2015 MKC vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and repaired under recalls 15V-246, 16V-643 or 17V-210, however the repair may not have been completed properly. 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.

Remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the latch date codes to confirm if the repair was done correctly, and replace the side door latches if necessary, free of charge. Owners will also have the option to inspect their own vehicle’s door latches and enter the date codes into a website to determine if the latches are correct. This recall began July 27, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 20S30.

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.

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

Ford Motor Company has determined that some vehicles claimed by dealers as repaired under Safety Recalls 15S16 & 16S30 did not receive the claimed repairs, or the repair may not have been completed properly. If a vehicle did not receive the claimed repairs, the door latches have a pawl spring tab that may break. This condition will typically prevent the door from latching. If the customer is able to latch the door after repeated attempts to shut the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury.

OWNER SELF INSPECTION

Owners will be given the option to inspect their vehicle’s door latch date codes and enter the data using Ford’s Customer Site, which will determine if a prior recall repair was properly completed. Alternatively, they can take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer for inspection under Safety Recall 20S30.

NOTE: Dealers are not to use the Customer Site to confirm latch information. Instead, dealers are to utilize the Dealer Site indicated in the SERVICE ACTION section, which allows for FSA claim approval codes to be issued for FSA claiming.

All latch confirmation attempts by both customers and dealers are recorded by VIN, date, and attempt number, and are subject to review.

SERVICE ACTION

For customers who are unable to receive confirmation of their vehicle’s latch date codes using the customer website, or who prefer not to inspect their vehicle, dealers are to inspect all affected door latches and submit date codes for review using Ford’s Dealer Site at dealer.fordlatchrecall.com.

Any vehicle found to have factory installed door latches will require replacement of all door latches as directed by Ford Motor Company. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters are expected to be mailed beginning the week of July 27, 2020. Dealers should inspect any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

PLEASE NOTE:

Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

SSSC APPROVAL TYPES

Based on the condition of the customer’s vehicle and the result of the Dealer Site latch code processing, dealers will need to submit for approval using one of three methods listed in the flow chart below.

CONTACT PREPARATION

To improve the dealer experience and reduce the potential for unnecessary SSSC contacts, dealers are encouraged to use the following best practices when submitting information to both the Dealer Site and the SSSC. Three contact types are available for processing 20S30 requests.

ALL CONTACTS

Inspect the latch codes on ALL affected doors – this information will be required on every vehicle that is inspected by a Dealer, whether or not it requires repairs
Be sure to clearly identify and document each character in each of the latch codes (codes can be 4-7 characters long, including letters and numbers) for accuracy when submitting via the Dealer Site

DEALER SELF SERVICE CONTACTS

If the Dealer Site indicates that all latches on the vehicle are confirmed, be sure to enter accurate repair order information in the Dealer Self Service contact. Incorrect repair order information will invalidate the approval code and prevent the warranty claim from being processed.

DATE CODE REVIEW & FAILED LATCH REVIEW CONTACTS

If the Dealer Site indicates a Date Code Review or Failed Latch Review contact is needed:
- Ensure that the photos you supply clearly reflect the date codes of ALL affected latches. See Figure 1 for example clear photo. Any of the following can prevent an approval contact from being processed for approval the first time:
  - Latch code out of focus
  - Glare on latch code (use a constant light source and disable the camera’s flash for best results)
  - Insufficient lighting
  - Latch code obstructed due to camera angle
- Clearly label each door latch using a sticky note (or similar notation). See Figure 1 for an example

NOTE: Photos that do not clearly reflect the location and date code of each affected door latch will prevent an SSSC approval request from being processed.

Safety Recall Notice 20S30 / NHTSA Recall 20V-331

2014 Focus
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):

Your vehicle was brought in for repair to replace the door latches under Safety Recall 15S16 or 16S30. A Ford Motor Company investigation has uncovered that some number of latches were not replaced or may not have been replaced correctly. The date codes of your latches need to be inspected to ensure your vehicle received the proper repair. We believe, especially in today’s environment, many customers would prefer to do the inspection on their own rather than visiting the dealer. We are offering both a self-inspection option and an option to have your dealer inspect your vehicle, should you prefer it. A dealer inspection will remain available even if you begin the inspection on your own.

We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this condition. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service and support.

What is the issue?	Your vehicle was previously repaired under Safety Recall 15S16 or 16S30. During that repair, your vehicle’s door latches were to be replaced to help reduce the risk of doors not closing or doors opening while driving. It is possible that one or more of your door latches was not replaced or may not have been replaced correctly.
What is the risk?	If a door latch was not replaced, there is still a risk that the pawl spring tab inside the door latch could break. This condition will typically prevent the door from latching. In certain situations, where the door is able to be closed, the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury.
What needs to be done?	The door latch date codes in your vehicle need to be inspected to verify that the previous door latch recall repair was completed as intended. For your convenience and to encourage the continued social distancing requirements by many state and local governments related to COVID-19, Ford is providing you with the option to complete this simple inspection yourself using the attached self-inspection sheet. By utilizing this option, you should not need to take your vehicle to your dealer unless your vehicle is exhibiting door latching concerns (door will not latch or opens while driving). In the unlikely event that the system cannot confirm the latches on your vehicle based on your input, or if your vehicle is exhibiting door latching concerns, you will need to take your vehicle to your dealership for additional inspection and/or repairs. If you do not wish to complete this inspection yourself, your dealer will inspect your vehicle for you.
How long will it take?	You can complete this simple inspection on your vehicle in 15 minutes or less. Alternatively, if you take your vehicle to your dealer, the time needed for inspection and any necessary repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time.
What should you do?	If your vehicle is not exhibiting any door latching concerns, decide if you want to inspect your vehicle or have your dealer complete the inspection. If you decide to inspect it on your own, please do so as soon as possible using the attached self-inspection sheet. If your vehicle’s door latches are not working properly, or if you want your dealer to inspect your vehicle, please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 20S30. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable. You can continue to safely drive your vehicle if you confirm that, before driving, all doors are securely latched without using excessive effort. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access www.Fordowner.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions. Ford Motor Company wants you to have this safety recall completed on your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the work completed. Please note: Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days. NOTE: You can receive information about Recalls and Customer Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play.

COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)	Ford dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your safety and the safety of dealership employees.

Aviso de campaña de seguridad 20S30 / Campaña 20V-331 de la NHTSA

2014 Focus
Número de identificación del vehículo (VIN):

En su vehículo ya se realizó una reparación para reemplazar las chapas de las puertas, conforme a la Campaña de seguridad 15S16 o 16S30. En una investigación de Ford Motor Company se detectó que un número de chapas no se reemplazó, o no se efectuó correctamente el reemplazo. Para asegurar que en su vehículo se haya realizado la reparación adecuada, se deben inspeccionar los códigos de fecha de las chapas. Pensamos que, en el contexto actual, muchos clientes preferirían realizar ellos mismos la inspección, en lugar de visitar el distribuidor Ofrecemos la opción de inspección personal así como también la opción de llevar el vehículo al distribuidor para inspección, la que sea de su preferencia. La inspección en un distribuidor permanecerá disponible incluso si usted comienza la inspección usted mismo.

Lamentamos esta situación y deseamos asegurarle que, con su ayuda, corregiremos el problema. Nuestro compromiso, junto con el de su distribuidor, es ofrecerle servicio y apoyo de alto nivel.

¿Cuál es el problema?	Su vehículo fue reparado anteriormente conforme la Campaña de seguridad 15S16 o 16S30. Durante esa reparación, las chapas de las puertas se debieron reparar con el fin de reducir el riesgo de que las puertas no cerraran o que las puertas se abrieran mientras el vehículo está en movimiento. Es posible que una o más de las chapas de las puertas no se haya reemplazado o no se haya reemplazado correctamente.
¿Qué riesgo existe?	Si la chapa de una puerta no se reemplazó, el riesgo de que se rompa la lengüeta del resorte del trinquete en el interior de la chapa continúa presente. En general, esta condición evita que las puertas se traben. En determinadas situaciones, si bien ha sido posible cerrar las puertas, estas pueden abrirse mientras maneja, lo que aumenta el riesgo de sufrir lesiones.
¿Qué se debe hacer?	Los códigos de fecha de las chapas de las puertas de su vehículo se deben inspeccionar para verificar que se haya realizado la reparación asociada a la campaña de la chapa de la puerta anterior, según lo previsto. Para su conveniencia y con el fin de cumplir el distanciamiento social sugerido por muchos estados y gobiernos locales a raíz del COVID-19, Ford le proporciona la opción de que usted mismo lleve a cabo esta simple inspección; para ello debe utilizar la hoja de inspección personal adjunta. Al utilizar esta opción, no será necesario que lleve el vehículo al distribuidor, a menos que existan problemas con la chapa de la puerta (la puerta no se traba o se abre mientras el vehículo está en movimiento). En el poco probable caso de que el sistema no pueda confirmar que las chapas de su vehículo son seguras, en base a sus comentarios, o si existen problemas con las chapas de las puertas, deberá llevar el vehículo al distribuidor para una inspección o reparación adicional. Si no desea realizar usted mismo esta inspección, su distribuidor inspeccionará el vehículo.
¿Cuánto tiempo tomará?	Esta simple inspección del vehículo a usted le tomará 15 minutos o menos. Alternativamente, si lleva el vehículo a su distribuidor, el tiempo necesario para esta inspección y cualquier reparación necesaria será de menos de medio día. Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más.
¿Qué debe hacer?	Si su vehículo no presenta ningún problema con las chapas de las puertas, decida si desea inspeccionar usted mismo el vehículo o si lo llevará a un distribuidor para inspección. Si opta por inspeccionar usted mismo el vehículo, hágalo tan pronto como sea posible. Se adjunta una hoja de inspección personal para dicha revisión. Si las chapas de las puertas de su vehículo no están funcionando correctamente, o si desea que un distribuidor inspeccione el vehículo, llame a su distribuidor a la brevedad y solicite una cita de servicio para llevar a cabo la Campaña 20S30. Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está impreso debajo de sus datos al comienzo de esta carta. Para esta campaña de seguridad, Ford no ha emitido instrucciones de no manejar el vehículo. Deberá ponerse en contacto con su distribuidor a fin de programar una cita para solucionar este problema lo más pronto posible. Puede continuar manejando su vehículo de forma segura, si confirma que, antes de partir, todas las puertas se han trabado firmemente, sin utilizar esfuerzo excesivo. Si aún no tiene un distribuidor para realizar el servicio, puede acceder a www.Fordowner.com para conocer las direcciones de los distribuidores, ver mapas y obtener las instrucciones para llegar. Ford Motor Company le recomienda realizar esta campaña de seguridad en su vehículo. El propietario del vehículo es responsable de realizar los arreglos para llevar a cabo el trabajo. Tenga presente que: la ley federal exige que los arrendadores de vehículos que reciban este aviso de campaña envíen una copia del mismo al arrendatario en un plazo de diez días. NOTA: puede recibir información sobre las campañas y los programas de satisfacción del cliente a través de la aplicación FordPass. La aplicación se puede descargar a través de App Store o Google Play. Adicionalmente, existen otras funciones, como reserva y pago de estacionamientos en ciertos lugares, además de control de ciertas funciones en el vehículo (bloqueo y desbloqueo de puertas, arranque remoto) si así está equipado para permitir el control.
COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)	Los distribuidores Ford han implementado protocolos mejorados con el fin de asegurar tanto su seguridad como la de los empleados de los diferentes distribuidores. Esto incluye procedimientos específicos de limpieza y desinfección antes y después de realizar servicio en cada uno de los vehículos de nuestros clientes. En la mayoría de los lugares, la atención de vehículos se ha considerado un servicio fundamental. Póngase en contacto con su distribuidor local para confirmar las horas de servicio actuales. Para obtener más información sobre cómo Ford y su distribuidor local están trabajando duro para mantenerlo en las calles durante estos tiempos difíciles, visite www.Fordowner.com.
¿Ha pagado anteriormente por esta reparación?	Si usted ha pagado previamente por una reparación que aborda el problema descrito en esta carta, igualmente deberá realizar esta campaña de seguridad a fin de asegurarse de que se hayan utilizado las piezas correctas. Es posible que cumpla con los requisitos para recibir un reembolso por las reparaciones pagadas previamente. Solo se otorgarán reembolsos por servicios relacionados con problemas en las chapas de las puertas después de que se hayan solicitado las reparaciones según las Campañas 15S16 o 16S30. Para comprobar si cumple con los requisitos y agilizar el reembolso, proporcione el recibo de pago original a su distribuidor. También puede enviar las solicitudes de reembolso directamente a Ford Motor Company. Para solicitar un reembolso a Ford, envíe la solicitud de reembolso con toda la documentación requerida, incluido el recibo original de la reparación (no envíe fotocopias), a Ford Motor Company, P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, Michigan 48121-6251. El procesamiento de las solicitudes de reembolso enviadas a esta dirección puede tardar hasta 60 días. Su recibo original le será regresado. Comuníquese con el Centro de Relación con Clientes al 1-866-436-7332 para obtener información detallada relacionada con el programa de reembolso de Ford y los requisitos de documentación.
¿Qué pasa si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo?	Si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo y tiene la dirección del propietario actual, le solicitamos que le reenvíe esta carta. Usted recibió este aviso porque las regulaciones del gobierno exigen el envío de notificaciones al propietario conocido más reciente del registro. Nuestros registros se basan principalmente en datos estatales y de propiedad, que indican que usted es el propietario actual del vehículo.
¿Podemos hacer algo más por usted?	Si tiene problemas para reparar de inmediato su vehículo y sin costo alguno, comuníquese con el Gerente de Servicio de su distribuidor para solicitar ayuda. PROPIETARIOS MINORISTAS: si tiene dudas o preguntas, comuníquese con nuestro Centro de Relación con Clientes Ford al 1-866-436-7332 y uno de nuestros representantes con gusto lo atenderá. Si desea comunicarse con nosotros a través de Internet, nuestra dirección es: www.Fordowner.com. Las personas con problemas de audición pueden llamar al 1-800-232-5952 (TDD).

Safety Recall Notice 20S30 / NHTSA Recall 20V-331

2014 MKZ
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Your vehicle was brought in for repair to replace the door latches under Safety Recall 15S16 or 16S30. A Lincoln Motor Company investigation has uncovered that some number of latches were not replaced or may not have been replaced correctly. The date codes of your latches need to be inspected to ensure your vehicle received the proper repair. We believe, especially in today’s environment, many customers would prefer to do the inspection on their own rather than visiting the dealer. We are offering both a self-inspection option and an option to have your dealer inspect your vehicle, should you prefer it. A dealer inspection will remain available even if you begin the inspection on your own.

What is the issue?	Your vehicle was previously repaired under Safety Recall 15S16 or 16S30. During that repair, your vehicle’s door latches were to be replaced to help reduce the risk of doors not closing or doors opening while driving. It is possible that one or more of your door latches was not replaced or may not have been replaced correctly.
What is the risk?	If a door latch was not replaced, there is still a risk that the pawl spring tab inside the door latch could break. This condition will typically prevent the door from latching. In certain situations, where the door is able to be closed, the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury.
What needs to be done?	The door latch date codes in your vehicle need to be inspected to verify that the previous door latch recall repair was completed as intended. For your convenience and to encourage the continued social distancing requirements by many state and local governments related to COVID-19, Lincoln is providing you with the option to complete this simple inspection yourself using the attached self-inspection sheet. By utilizing this option, you should not need to take your vehicle to your dealer unless your vehicle is exhibiting door latching concerns (door will not latch or opens while driving). In the unlikely event that the system cannot confirm the latches on your vehicle based on your input, or if your vehicle is exhibiting door latching concerns, you will need to take your vehicle to your dealership for additional inspection and/or repairs. If you do not wish to complete this inspection yourself, your dealer will inspect your vehicle for you.
How long will it take?	You can complete this simple inspection on your vehicle in 15 minutes or less. Alternatively, if you take your vehicle to your dealer, the time needed for inspection and any necessary repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time.
What should you do?	If your vehicle is not exhibiting any door latching concerns, decide if you want to inspect your vehicle or have your dealer complete the inspection. If you decide to inspect it on your own, please do so as soon as possible using the attached self-inspection sheet. If your vehicle’s door latches are not working properly, or if you want your dealer to inspect your vehicle, please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 20S30. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. Lincoln has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall.

In addition, there are other features such as reserving and paying for parking in certain locations and controlling certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow control.
COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)	Lincoln dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your safety and the safety of dealership employees. This includes specific procedures for cleaning and disinfecting client vehicles and vehicles used for Pickup & Delivery* both before and after each vehicle is serviced. In most places, vehicle service has been deemed a critical service. Please contact your local dealer to confirm current service hours.

Contact your preferred dealer for important details. Mileage limitations may apply.
Have you previously paid for this repair?	If you have previously paid for a repair that addresses the issue described in this letter, you still need to have this recall performed to ensure the correct parts were used. You may be eligible for a refund of previously paid repairs. Refunds will only be provided for service related to door latching concerns after repairs were claimed under 15S16 or 16S30. To verify eligibility and expedite reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer. Refund requests may also be sent directly to The Lincoln Motor Company. To request your refund from Lincoln, send the refund request with all required documentation, including your original repair receipt (no photocopies), to The Lincoln Motor Company at P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, Michigan 48121-6251. Refund requests mailed to this address may take up to 60 days to process. Your original receipt will be returned to you. Detailed information regarding eligibility for Lincoln’s reimbursement program and documentation requirements may be obtained by contacting our Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
What if you no longer own this vehicle?	If you no longer own this vehicle, and have an address for the current owner, please forward this letter to the new owner. You received this notice because government regulations require that notification be sent to the last known owner of record. Our records are based primarily on state registration and title data, which indicate that you are the current owner.

Es posible que una o más de las chapas de las puertas no se haya reemplazado o no se haya reemplazado correctamente.
¿Qué riesgo existe?	Si la chapa de una puerta no se reemplazó, el riesgo de que se rompa la lengüeta del resorte del trinquete en el interior de la chapa continúa presente. En general, esta condición evita que las puertas se traben. En determinadas situaciones, si bien ha sido posible cerrar las puertas, estas pueden abrirse mientras maneja, lo que aumenta el riesgo de sufrir lesiones.
¿Qué se debe hacer?	Los códigos de fecha de las chapas de las puertas de su vehículo se deben inspeccionar para verificar que se haya realizado la reparación asociada a la campaña de la chapa de la puerta anterior, según lo previsto. Para su conveniencia y con el fin de cumplir el distanciamiento social sugerido por muchos estados y gobiernos locales a raíz del COVID-19, Lincoln le proporciona la opción de que usted mismo lleve a cabo esta simple inspección; para ello debe utilizar la hoja de inspección personal adjunta. Al utilizar esta opción, no será necesario que lleve el vehículo al distribuidor, a menos que existan problemas con la chapa de la puerta (la puerta no se traba o se abre mientras el vehículo está en movimiento). En el poco probable caso de que el sistema no pueda confirmar que las chapas de su vehículo son seguras, en base a sus comentarios, o si existen problemas con las chapas de las puertas, deberá llevar el vehículo al distribuidor para una inspección o reparación adicional. Si no desea realizar usted mismo esta inspección, su distribuidor inspeccionará el vehículo.
¿Cuánto tiempo tomará?	Esta simple inspección del vehículo a usted le tomará 15 minutos o menos. Alternativamente, si lleva el vehículo a su distribuidor, el tiempo necesario para esta inspección y cualquier reparación necesaria será de menos de medio día. Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más.
¿Qué debe hacer?	Si su vehículo no presenta ningún problema con las chapas de las puertas, decida si desea inspeccionar usted mismo el vehículo o si lo llevará a un distribuidor para inspección. Si opta por inspeccionar usted mismo el vehículo, hágalo tan pronto como sea posible. Se adjunta una hoja de inspección personal para dicha revisión. Si las chapas de las puertas de su vehículo no están funcionando correctamente, o si desea que un distribuidor inspeccione el vehículo, llame a su distribuidor a la brevedad y solicite una cita de servicio para llevar a cabo la Campaña 20S30. Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está impreso debajo de sus datos al comienzo de esta carta. Para esta campaña de seguridad, Lincoln no ha emitido instrucciones de dejar de manejar el vehículo. Deberá ponerse en contacto con su distribuidor a fin de programar una cita para solucionar este problema lo más pronto posible. Puede continuar manejando su vehículo de forma segura, si confirma que, antes de partir, todas las puertas se han trabado firmemente, sin utilizar esfuerzo excesivo. Si aún no tiene un distribuidor para realizar el servicio, puede acceder a www.Lincolnowner.com para conocer las direcciones de los distribuidores, ver mapas y obtener las instrucciones para llegar. The Lincoln Motor Company le recomienda realizar esta campaña de seguridad en su vehículo. El propietario del vehículo es responsable de realizar los arreglos para llevar a cabo el trabajo. Tenga presente que: la ley federal exige que los arrendadores de vehículos que reciban este aviso de campaña envíen una copia del mismo al arrendatario en un plazo de diez días. NOTA: puede recibir información sobre las campañas y los programas de satisfacción del cliente a través de la aplicación The Lincoln Way. La aplicación se puede descargar a través de App Store o Google Play. Adicionalmente, existen otras funciones como reserva y pago de estacionamientos en ciertos lugares, además de control de ciertas funciones en el vehículo (bloqueo y desbloqueo de puertas, arranque remoto) si así está equipado para permitir el control.

¿Ha pagado anteriormente por esta reparación?	Si usted ha pagado previamente por una reparación que aborda el problema descrito en esta carta, igualmente deberá realizar esta campaña de seguridad a fin de asegurarse de que se hayan utilizado las piezas correctas. Es posible que cumpla con los requisitos para recibir un reembolso por las reparaciones pagadas previamente. Solo se otorgarán reembolsos por servicios relacionados con problemas en las chapas de las puertas después de que se hayan solicitado las reparaciones según las Campañas 15S16 o 16S30. Para comprobar si cumple con los requisitos y agilizar el reembolso, proporcione el recibo de pago original a su distribuidor. También puede enviar las solicitudes de reembolso directamente a The Lincoln Motor Company.

Comuníquese con nuestro Centro de Relación con Clientes al 1-866-436-7332 para obtener información detallada relacionada con el programa de reembolso de Lincoln y los requisitos de documentación.
¿Qué pasa si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo?	Si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo y tiene la dirección del propietario actual, le solicitamos que le reenvíe esta carta.

Safety Recall Notice 20S30 / NHTSA Recall 20V-331

2015 Mustang
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):

Your vehicle was brought in for repair to replace the door latches under Safety Recall 16S30. A

self-inspection option and an option to have your dealer inspect your vehicle, should you prefer it. A dealer inspection will remain available even if you begin the inspection on your own.

What is the issue?	Your vehicle was previously repaired under Safety Recall 16S30. During that repair, your vehicle’s door latches were to be replaced to help reduce the risk of doors not closing or doors opening while driving. It is possible that one or more of your door latches was not replaced or may not have been replaced correctly.
What is the risk?	If a door latch was not replaced, there is still a risk that the pawl spring tab inside the door latch could break. This condition will typically prevent the door from latching. In certain situations, where the door is able to be closed, the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury.
What needs to be done?	The door latch date codes in your vehicle need to be inspected to verify that the previous door latch recall repair was completed as intended. For your convenience and to encourage the continued social distancing requirements by many state and local governments related to COVID-19, Ford is providing you with the option to complete this simple inspection yourself using the attached self-inspection sheet. By utilizing this option, you should not need to take your vehicle to your dealer unless your vehicle is exhibiting door latching concerns (door will not latch or opens while driving). In the unlikely event that the system cannot confirm the latches on your vehicle based on your input, or if your vehicle is exhibiting door latching concerns, you will need to take your vehicle to your dealership for additional inspection and/or repairs. If you do not wish to complete this inspection yourself, your dealer will inspect your vehicle for you.
How long will it take?	You can complete this simple inspection on your vehicle in 15 minutes or less. Alternatively, if you take your vehicle to your dealer, the time needed for inspection and any necessary repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time.
What should you do?	If your vehicle is not exhibiting any door latching concerns, decide if you want to inspect your vehicle or have your dealer complete the inspection. If you decide to inspect it on your own, please do so as soon as possible using the attached self-inspection sheet. If your vehicle’s door latches are not working properly, or if you want your dealer to inspect your vehicle, please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 20S30. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable. You can continue to safely drive your vehicle if you confirm that, before driving, all doors are securely latched without using excessive effort. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access www.Fordowner.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions. Ford Motor Company wants you to have this safety recall completed on your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the work completed. Please note: Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days. NOTE: You can receive information about Recalls and Customer Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play. In addition there are other features such as reserving and paying for parking in certain locations and controlling certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow control.
COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)	Ford dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your safety and the safety of dealership employees. This includes specific procedures for cleaning and disinfecting customer vehicles before and after each vehicle is serviced. In most places, vehicle service has been deemed a critical service. Please contact your local dealer to confirm current service hours. For more information on how Ford and your local dealer are working hard to keep you on the road during these challenging times, please visit www.Fordowner.com.
Have you previously paid for this repair?	If you have previously paid for a repair that addresses the issue described in this letter, you still need to have this recall performed to ensure the correct parts were used. You may be eligible for a refund of previously paid repairs. Refunds will only be provided for service related to door latching concerns after repairs were claimed under 16S30. To verify eligibility and expedite reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer. Refund requests may also be sent directly to Ford Motor Company. To request your refund from Ford, send the refund request with all required documentation, including your original repair receipt (no photocopies), to Ford Motor Company at P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, Michigan 48121-6251. Refund requests mailed to this address may take up to 60 days to process. Your original receipt will be returned to you. Detailed information regarding eligibility for Ford’s reimbursement program and documentation requirements may be obtained by contacting the Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
What if you no longer own this vehicle?	If you no longer own this vehicle, and have an address for the current owner, please forward this letter to the new owner. You received this notice because government regulations require that notification be sent to the last known owner of record. Our records are based primarily on state registration and title data, which indicate that you are the current owner.
Can we assist you further?	If you have difficulties getting your vehicle repaired promptly and without charge, please contact your dealership’s Service Manager for assistance. RETAIL OWNERS: If you have questions or concerns, please contact our Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.

Para asegurar que en su vehículo se haya realizado la reparación adecuada, se deben inspeccionar los códigos de fecha de las chapas.

Safety Recall Notice 20S30 / NHTSA Recall 20V-331

2014 Transit Connect
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):

Your vehicle was brought in for repair to replace the door latches under Safety Recall 16S30. A

Ford Motor Company investigation has uncovered that some number of latches were not replaced or may not have been replaced correctly. The date codes of your latches need to be inspected to ensure your vehicle received the proper repair. We believe, especially in today’s environment, many customers would prefer to do the inspection on their own rather than visiting the dealer. We are offering both a self-inspection option and an option to have your dealer inspect your vehicle, should you prefer it. A dealer inspection will remain available even if you begin the inspection on your own.

What is the issue?	Your vehicle was previously repaired under Safety Recall 16S30. During that repair, your vehicle’s door latches were to be replaced to help reduce the risk of doors not closing or doors opening while driving. It is possible that one or more of your door latches was not replaced or may not have been replaced correctly.
What is the risk?	If a door latch was not replaced, there is still a risk that the pawl spring tab inside the door latch could break. This condition will typically prevent the door from latching. In certain situations, where the door is able to be closed, the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury.
What needs to be done?	The door latch date codes in your vehicle need to be inspected to verify that the previous door latch recall repair was completed as intended. For your convenience and to encourage the continued social distancing requirements by many state and local governments related to COVID-19, Ford is providing you with the option to complete this simple inspection yourself using the attached self-inspection sheet. By utilizing this option, you should not need to take your vehicle to your dealer unless your vehicle is exhibiting door latching concerns (door will not latch or opens while driving). In the unlikely event that the system cannot confirm the latches on your vehicle based on your input, or if your vehicle is exhibiting door latching concerns, you will need to take your vehicle to your dealership for additional inspection and/or repairs. If you do not wish to complete this inspection yourself, your dealer will inspect your vehicle for you.
How long will it take?	You can complete this simple inspection on your vehicle in 15 minutes or less. Alternatively, if you take your vehicle to your dealer, the time needed for inspection and any necessary repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time.
What should you do?	If your vehicle is not exhibiting any door latching concerns, decide if you want to inspect your vehicle or have your dealer complete the inspection. If you decide to inspect it on your own, please do so as soon as possible using the attached self-inspection sheet. If your vehicle’s door latches are not working properly, or if you want your dealer to inspect your vehicle, please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 20S30. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable. You can continue to safely drive your vehicle if you confirm that, before driving, all doors are securely latched without using excessive effort. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access www.Fordowner.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions. Ford Motor Company wants you to have this safety recall completed on your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the work completed. Please note: Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days. NOTE: You can receive information about Recalls and Customer Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play. In addition there are other features such as reserving and paying for parking in certain locations and controlling certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow control.
COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)	Ford dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your safety and the safety of dealership employees. This includes specific procedures for cleaning and disinfecting customer vehicles before and after each vehicle is serviced. In most places, vehicle service has been deemed a critical service. Please contact your local dealer to confirm current service hours. For more information on how Ford and your local dealer are working hard to keep you on the road during these challenging times, please visit www.Fordowner.com.
Have you previously paid for this repair?	If you have previously paid for a repair that addresses the issue described in this letter, you still need to have this recall performed to ensure the correct parts were used. You may be eligible for a refund of previously paid repairs. Refunds will only be provided for service related to door latching concerns after repairs were claimed under 16S30. To verify eligibility and expedite reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer. Refund requests may also be sent directly to Ford Motor Company. To request your refund from Ford, send the refund request with all required documentation, including your original repair receipt (no photocopies), to Ford Motor Company at P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, Michigan 48121-6251. Refund requests mailed to this address may take up to 60 days to process. Your original receipt will be returned to you. Detailed information regarding eligibility for Ford’s reimbursement program and documentation requirements may be obtained by contacting the Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
What if you no longer own this vehicle?	If you no longer own this vehicle, and have an address for the current owner, please forward this letter to the new owner. You received this notice because government regulations require that notification be sent to the last known owner of record. Our records are based primarily on state registration and title data, which indicate that you are the current owner.
Can we assist you further?	If you have difficulties getting your vehicle repaired promptly and without charge, please contact your dealership’s Service Manager for assistance. RETAIL OWNERS: If you have questions or concerns, please contact our Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you. If you wish to contact us through the Internet, our address is: www.Fordowner.com. For the hearing impaired call 1-800-232-5952 (TDD).

If you wish to contact us through the Internet, our address is: www.fleet.ford.com. Representatives are available Monday through Friday: 8:00AM – 8:00PM (Eastern Time). If you are still having difficulty getting your vehicle repaired in a reasonable time or without charge, you may write the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590 or call the toll free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov.

Aviso de campaña de seguridad 20S30 / Campaña 20V-331 de la NHTSA

2014 Transit Connect
Número de identificación del vehículo (VIN):

Lamentamos esta situación y deseamos asegurarle que, con su ayuda, corregiremos el problema. Nuestro compromiso, junto con el de su distribuidor, es ofrecerle servicio y apoyo de alto nivel.

¿Cuál es el problema?	Su vehículo fue reparado anteriormente conforme la Campaña de seguridad 16S30. Durante esa reparación, las chapas de las puertas se debieron reparar con el fin de reducir el riesgo de que las puertas no cerraran o que las puertas se abrieran mientras el vehículo está en movimiento. Es posible que una o más de las chapas de las puertas no se haya reemplazado o no se haya reemplazado correctamente.
¿Qué riesgo existe?	Si la chapa de una puerta no se reemplazó, el riesgo de que se rompa la lengüeta del resorte del trinquete en el interior de la chapa continúa presente. En general, esta condición evita que las puertas se traben. En determinadas situaciones, si bien ha sido posible cerrar las puertas, estas pueden abrirse mientras maneja, lo que aumenta el riesgo de sufrir lesiones.
¿Qué se debe hacer?	Los códigos de fecha de las chapas de las puertas de su vehículo se deben inspeccionar para verificar que se haya realizado la reparación asociada a la campaña de la chapa de la puerta anterior, según lo previsto. Para su conveniencia y con el fin de cumplir el distanciamiento social sugerido por muchos estados y gobiernos locales a raíz del COVID-19, Ford le proporciona la opción de que usted mismo lleve a cabo esta simple inspección; para ello debe utilizar la hoja de inspección personal adjunta. Al utilizar esta opción, no será necesario que lleve el vehículo al distribuidor, a menos que existan problemas con la chapa de la puerta (la puerta no se traba o se abre mientras el vehículo está en movimiento). En el poco probable caso de que el sistema no pueda confirmar que las chapas de su vehículo son seguras, en base a sus comentarios, o si existen problemas con las chapas de las puertas, deberá llevar el vehículo al distribuidor para una inspección o reparación adicional. Si no desea realizar usted mismo esta inspección, su distribuidor inspeccionará el vehículo.
¿Cuánto tiempo tomará?	Esta simple inspección del vehículo a usted le tomará 15 minutos o menos. Alternativamente, si lleva el vehículo a su distribuidor, el tiempo necesario para esta inspección y cualquier reparación necesaria será de menos de medio día. Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más.
¿Qué debe hacer?	Si su vehículo no presenta ningún problema con las chapas de las puertas, decida si desea inspeccionar usted mismo el vehículo o si lo llevará a un distribuidor para inspección. Si opta por inspeccionar usted mismo el vehículo, hágalo tan pronto como sea posible. Se adjunta una hoja de inspección personal para dicha revisión. Si las chapas de las puertas de su vehículo no están funcionando correctamente, o si desea que un distribuidor inspeccione el vehículo, llame a su distribuidor a la brevedad y solicite una cita de servicio para llevar a cabo la Campaña 20S30. Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está impreso debajo de sus datos al comienzo de esta carta. Para esta campaña de seguridad, Ford no ha emitido instrucciones de no manejar el vehículo. Deberá ponerse en contacto con su distribuidor a fin de programar una cita para solucionar este problema lo más pronto posible. Puede continuar manejando su vehículo de forma segura, si confirma que, antes de partir, todas las puertas se han trabado firmemente, sin utilizar esfuerzo excesivo. Si aún no tiene un distribuidor para realizar el servicio, puede acceder a www.Fordowner.com para conocer las direcciones de los distribuidores, ver mapas y obtener las instrucciones para llegar. Ford Motor Company le recomienda realizar esta campaña de seguridad en su vehículo. El propietario del vehículo es responsable de realizar los arreglos para llevar a cabo el trabajo. Tenga presente que: la ley federal exige que los arrendadores de vehículos que reciban este aviso de campaña envíen una copia del mismo al arrendatario en un plazo de diez días. NOTA: puede recibir información sobre las campañas y los programas de satisfacción del cliente a través de la aplicación FordPass. La aplicación se puede descargar a través de App Store o Google Play. Adicionalmente, existen otras funciones, como reserva y pago de estacionamientos en ciertos lugares, además de control de ciertas funciones en el vehículo (bloqueo y desbloqueo de puertas, arranque remoto) si así está equipado para permitir el control.
COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)	Los distribuidores Ford han implementado protocolos mejorados con el fin de asegurar tanto su seguridad como la de los empleados de los diferentes distribuidores. Esto incluye procedimientos específicos de limpieza y desinfección antes y después de realizar servicio en cada uno de los vehículos de nuestros clientes. En la mayoría de los lugares, la atención de vehículos se ha considerado un servicio fundamental. Póngase en contacto con su distribuidor local para confirmar las horas de servicio actuales. Para obtener más información sobre cómo Ford y su distribuidor local están trabajando duro para mantenerlo en las calles durante estos tiempos difíciles, visite www.Fordowner.com.
¿Ha pagado anteriormente por esta reparación?	Si usted ha pagado previamente por una reparación que aborda el problema descrito en esta carta, igualmente deberá realizar esta campaña de seguridad a fin de asegurarse de que se hayan utilizado las piezas correctas. Es posible que cumpla con los requisitos para recibir un reembolso por las reparaciones pagadas previamente. Solo se otorgarán reembolsos por servicios relacionados con problemas en las chapas de las puertas después de que se hayan solicitado las reparaciones según la Campaña 16S30. Para comprobar si cumple con los requisitos y agilizar el reembolso, proporcione el recibo de pago original a su distribuidor. También puede enviar las solicitudes de reembolso directamente a Ford Motor Company. Para solicitar un reembolso a Ford, envíe la solicitud de reembolso con toda la documentación requerida, incluido el recibo original de la reparación (no envíe fotocopias), a Ford Motor Company, P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, Michigan 48121-6251. El procesamiento de las solicitudes de reembolso enviadas a esta dirección puede tardar hasta 60 días. Su recibo original le será regresado. Comuníquese con el Centro de Relación con Clientes al 1-866-436-7332 para obtener información detallada relacionada con el programa de reembolso de Ford y los requisitos de documentación.
¿Qué pasa si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo?	Si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo y tiene la dirección del propietario actual, le solicitamos que le reenvíe esta carta. Usted recibió este aviso porque las regulaciones del gobierno exigen el envío de notificaciones al propietario conocido más reciente del registro. Nuestros registros se basan principalmente en datos estatales y de propiedad, que indican que usted es el propietario actual del vehículo.
¿Podemos hacer algo más por usted?	Si tiene problemas para reparar de inmediato su vehículo y sin costo alguno, comuníquese con el Gerente de Servicio de su distribuidor para solicitar ayuda. PROPIETARIOS MINORISTAS: si tiene dudas o preguntas, comuníquese con nuestro Centro de Relación con Clientes Ford al 1-866-436-7332 y uno de nuestros representantes con gusto lo atenderá. Si desea comunicarse con nosotros a través de Internet, nuestra dirección es: www.Fordowner.com. Las personas con problemas de audición pueden llamar al 1-800-232-5952 (TDD). Los representantes atienden de lunes a viernes, de 8:00 a.m. a 8:00 p.m. (hora del Este). PROPIETARIOS DE FLOTAS: si tiene dudas o preguntas, comuníquese con nuestro Centro de Información a Clientes de flotas al 1-800-34-FLEET, elija la opción n.° 3 y uno de nuestros representantes con gusto lo atenderá. Si desea comunicarse con nosotros a través de Internet, nuestra dirección es: www.fleet.ford.com. Los representantes atienden de lunes a viernes, de 8:00 a.m. a 8:00 p.m. (hora del Este). Si continúa con dificultades para reparar su vehículo en un tiempo razonable o sin cargo, le sugerimos que escriba al Administrador, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590 o bien que llame sin cargo a la línea directa de seguridad vehicular al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) o visite www.safercar.gov. Mencione la Campaña de seguridad 20V-331 de la NHTSA.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

SERVICE ACTION

A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers in early 3^rd quarter 2020, when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall.

If a customer’s vehicle exhibits side door latching concerns before a complete dealer bulletin is available, please contact the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) via the SSSC Web Contact Site.

IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published. Opening an RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty rejections against a recall.

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail after repair instructions and parts ordering information have been provided to dealers.

OWNER REFUNDS

Claiming a refund will not close the recall on the vehicle. When a complete dealer bulletin is available (anticipated in early 3^rd quarter, 2020), the vehicle will still be subject to an inspection and repair, if needed.
Ford Motor Company is offering a refund for owner-paid repairs covered by this recall if the repair was performed prior to the date indicated in the reimbursement plan, which is posted with this bulletin. Owners are directed to seek reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford Motor Company at P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, MI 48121-6251.
Dealers are also pre-approved to refund owner-paid emergency repairs that were performed away from an authorized servicing dealer after the end date specified in the reimbursement plan. Non-covered repairs, or those judged by Ford to be excessive, will not be reimbursed.
Refunds will only be provided for the cost associated with door latch replacements performed after repairs were claimed under 15S16 or 16S30.

CLAIMS PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION

Claim Entry: Enter claims using Dealer Management System (DMS) or One Warranty Solution (OWS) online.
- When entering claims, select claim type 31: Field Service Action. The FSA number (20S30) is the sub code.
- For additional claims preparation and submission information, refer to the Recall and Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) Repairs in the OWS User Guide.

IMPORTANT: Click the Related Damage Indicator radio button.

Refunds: Submit refunds on a separate repair line.
- Program Code: 20S30 – Misc. Expense: ADMIN
- Expense: REFUND – Misc. Expense: 0.2 Hrs.
Multiple refunds should be submitted on one repair line and the invoice details for each repair should be detailed in the comments section of the claim.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA

Jun 10, 2020 | DEARBORN, Mich.

DEARBORN, Mich., June 10, 2020 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Details are as follows:

Select 2011-15 Ford and Lincoln vehicles for a door latch issue

Affected vehicles may not have had all door latches replaced or correctly replaced when repaired by dealerships under safety recalls 15S16 or 16S30. Safety recalls 15S16 and 16S30 were issued to replace door latches with latch pawl spring tabs that were susceptible to cracking and failure in areas with high thermal loads (i.e., a combination of outdoor air temperature and solar radiation).

A door latch with a fractured pawl spring tab typically results in a “door will not close” condition. If the door latches after repeated attempts to shut it, there is potential for the door to unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury.

Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

This action affects approximately 2.15 million vehicles in the United States and federal territories.

Affected vehicles are as follows:

2011-14 Ford Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlán Assembly Plant, Jan. 26, 2010, to Oct. 31, 2013
2012-15 Ford Focus vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant, Oct. 4, 2010, to Jan. 31, 2015
2013-14 Ford Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, May 11, 2012, to Oct. 31, 2013
2013-14 Lincoln MKZ vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, July 19, 2012, to Oct. 31, 2013
2013-15 Ford Escape vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, Dec. 23, 2011, to Jan. 31, 2015
2013-15 Ford C-MAX vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant, Feb. 2, 2012, to Jan. 31, 2015
2014 Ford Fusion vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, June 18, 2013, to Oct. 31, 2013
2014-16 Ford Transit Connect vehicles built at Valencia Body and Assembly Plant, from Aug. 9, 2013, to Feb. 1, 2016
2015 Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Feb. 14, 2014, to April 30, 2015
2015 Lincoln MKC vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, Nov. 18, 2013, to Jan. 31, 2015

Owners will be given the option to inspect the door latch date codes and child safety locks and submit latch date codes online to confirm if repairs done under safety recalls 15S16 or 16S30 were completed correctly. The online system will provide instant validation that the door latches are OK or the latches cannot be confirmed and require dealer service.

If a customer does not want to do the inspection, has difficulty completing the inspection, or receives an indication that the latches cannot be validated, dealers will inspect the latch date codes and replace latches as needed. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20S30.

Select 2014-17 Ford F-150 vehicles equipped with 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine

In affected vehicles, the brake master cylinder may allow brake fluid to leak from the brake master cylinder front-wheel circuit into the brake booster.

Depending on the amount of brake fluid loss from the brake master cylinder front-wheel circuit into the brake booster, the driver will receive an audible chime, message-center alert, red brake warning indicator in the instrument cluster, and/or may begin to experience a change in brake pedal travel and feel, including increased pedal effort. If a loss of brake fluid is substantial enough to reduce brake function to the front wheels, full braking function will remain in the rear wheel circuit. However, reduced brake function in the front wheels can extend stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.

Ford is aware of seven low-speed/low-impact accident allegations with two injuries associated with this issue.

This action affects 292,311 vehicles in the United States and federal territories, 43,536 in Canada and 8,053 in Mexico.

Affected vehicles are as follows:

Select 2015-17 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant, Oct. 1, 2014, to Aug. 1, 2016
Select 2014-17 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Kansas City Assembly Plant, Sept. 1, 2014, to Aug. 1, 2016

Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder and, if it is leaking, the brake booster will also be replaced. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20S31.

1 Associated Investigation

Door Latch Failure
NHTSA ID: RQ19005
Dated opened: December 19, 2019

On April 23, 2015, Ford Motor Company issued safety recall 15V-246 to remedy the latch pawl spring tab of approximately 336,873 model year (MY) 2012-2014 Fiesta, MY 2013-2014 Fusion and MY 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ vehicles manufactured between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013. The recall was in response to the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) investigation EA15-002 which concluded the latch pawl spring tab can break, potentially causing the door to open while driving. On March 27, 2017, Ford Motor Company issued safety recall 17V-210 expanding the population from Recall 15V-246 of approximately 191,432 model year (MY) 2014 Fiesta, MY 2013-2014 Fusion, MY 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ vehicles manufactured between June 1, 2013 and October 31, 2013.

ODI has received 109 complaints alleging incidents of doors opening while driving in the subject vehicles. Many of the complaints occur on vehicles that have been previously under Recall 15V-246 and 17V-210. In addition, ODI has received multiple complaints on vehicles that fall outside the recall population. ODI has received 2 complaints alleging minor injuries due to the door opening while driving (ODI# 11268297, 11015973) and 1 complaint alleging debris exiting the vehicle on the freeway (ODI# 11240352). A recall query has been opened to assess the scope and remedy for Recall 15V-246 and 17V-210.

The ODI complaints cited above involved door latch failures can be viewed at www.safercar.gov under the following ODI identification numbers: 11288232, 11282831, 11282621, 11282489, 11282344, 11280788, 11280495, 11278552, 11278502, 11271749, 11271230, 11269527, 11268995, 11268809, 11268416, 11268362, 11268297, 11267611, 11266459, 11266428, 11266107, 11266074, 11265835, 11265625, 11265364, 11259118, 11258954, 11257827, 11257726, 11256505, 11256430, 11255187, 11254659, 11254652, 11254554, 11253666, 11253159, 11253072, 11252650, 11252300, 11251888, 11246181, 11246029, 11246009, 11246005, 11245859, 11245549, 11245543, 11245483, 11245408, 11245316, 11245013, 11244425, 11244327, 11244257, 11243246, 11242379, 11241837, 11241022, 11240698, 11240361, 11240352, 11240296, 11234292, 11233716, 11233106, 11232953, 11232538, 11232024, 11231931, 11231898, 11231485, 11231430, 11230733, 11230426, 11230092, 11229320, 11229163, 11228818, 11228757, 11228552, 11228547, 11228541, 11228262, 11223154, 11222994, 11222949, 11222666, 11222247, 11222087, 11220591, 11220536, 11220193, 11219501, 11219251, 11218065, 11217778, 11217500, 11217211, 11217134, 11210633, 11210568, 11207018, 11206507, 11205805, 11205013, 11204019, 11203700, 11197348, 11196057, 11195269, 11195262, 11193224, 11193111, 11190876, 11189677, 11186619, 11174466, 11173589, 11172614, 11170525, 11165554, 11165270, 11164185, 11163773, 11162882, 11162644, 11161932, 11157214, 11156517, 11154533, 11154174, 11153083, 11152515, 11150076, 11144925, 11144146, 11142327, 11141454, 11139062, 11138955, 11133543, 11132966, 11132400, 11131930, 11131608, 11130818, 11130449, 11129834, 11129559, 11129364, 11129264, 11128849, 11124295, 11124280, 11124124, 11123590, 11123409, 11123250, 11122241, 11121776, 11121300, 11120607, 11119807, 11119675, 11118474, 11118380, 11115298, 11114619, 11111514, 11111507, 11110706, 11110462, 11110155, 11109921, 11109798, 11105213, 11104896, 11104591, 11104227, 11103552, 11103085, 11102701, 11097174, 11092326, 11091306, 11090102, 11089616, 11088626, 11084624, 11082264, 11075384, 11074513, 11066974, 11065957, 11065615, 11064678, 11046980, 11034381, 11034178, 11033951, 11033568, 11033325, 11032716, 11032674, 11032563, 11031770, 11031663, 11030865, 11023308, 11021035, 11020575, 11020450, 11020332, 11019391, 11018911, 11016477, 11016443, 11016358, 11015973, 11014518, 11013999, 11013316, 11012362, 11012181, 11011218, 11010740, 11006452, 11005972, 11005882, 11005057, 11004142, 11002377, 11002372, 11001149
