What is wrong
Ford and Volvo are recalling cars built with certain Kiekert USA (Kiekert) C1A door latches. A component within the door latches may break as a result of excessive temperatures within the door, 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.
What can happen
A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury or the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Ford and Volvo have recalls to notify their owners, and their dealers will replace all four door latches, free of charge. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
