Η Ford χθες ανακοίνωσε την ανάκληση 592.000 αυτοκινήτων της, ενώ τη περασμένη εβδομάδα ανακάλεσε 390.000 αυτοκίνητα της λόγω ελαττώματος της ασφάλειας των θυρών. Σήμερα, η Μπλε Οβάλ εταιρία με δελτίο τύπου επεκτείνει την συγκεκριμένη ανάκληση σε επιπλέον 156.000 αυτοκίνητά της.
Η ανάκληση αφορά ένα πρόβλημα στο ελατήριο που υπάρχει στα εσωτερικά χερούλια των θυρών και να βγει από τη θέση σου, που ακόμα και αν κλείσει η πόρτα, υπάρχει το ενδεχόμενο να ανοίξει χωρίς κάποια ειδοποίηση ή ένδειξη. Η ανάκληση αφορά τα 2011-2014 Fiesta, 2013-2014 Fusion, και τα 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ.

FORD EXPANDS DOOR LATCH SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA
DEARBORN, Mich., May 1, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is expanding a safety recall regarding door latches to include approximately 156,000 more vehicles at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, bringing the total to 545,906 vehicles in North America. The door latch in certain vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is a potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury.
Ford is aware of a total two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck the adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space.
Affected vehicles include certain 2011-14 Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlán Assembly Plant, Nov. 3, 2009 to May 31, 2013; certain 2013-14 Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Feb. 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013; certain 2014 Fusion vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, April 12, 2013 to April 26, 2013; and certain 2013-14 Lincoln MKZ vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Feb. 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013.
There are 456,440 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 50,681 in Canada and 38,785 in Mexico.
Dealers will replace all four door latches at no cost to the customer.
