Ford is issuing two safety recalls. No accidents or injuries are attributed to either of these conditions. Details are as follows:
Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans for interior door handle issue
Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 205,000 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans due to an issue with the spring that controls the interior door handles. If the spring is unseated, the door may become unlatched in a side-impact crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.
Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus vehicles built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant; certain 2010-2013 Lincoln MKS vehicles built June 2, 2011 to Oct. 31, 2011 at Chicago Assembly Plant; and certain 2010-2013 Ford Police Interceptor sedans built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant.
Ford is aware of 204,945 vehicles in North America, including 194,889 in the United States and federalized territories, 9,948 in Canada and 108 in Mexico.
Dealers will inspect all four interior door handle assemblies and repair or replace the handles as necessary. This will be done at no cost to customers.
Ford issues safety compliance recall for certain 2013-2014 Lincoln MKT livery vehicles in Canada for child tether label issue
Ford is issuing a safety compliance recall for 121 Lincoln MKT livery vehicles in Canada for a safety compliance issue regarding child tether anchorage labels. CMVSS 210.1 requires a label when there is a cover over a tether anchorage. In the case of livery vehicles, a cargo management system load floor covers the second-row tether anchorage.
Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.
Affected vehicles include certain 2013-2014 Lincoln MKT livery vehicles built March 9, 2012 to Oct. 31, 2014. All 121 vehicles are located in Canada.
Dealers will replace the existing cargo management system load floor with one that has the required labeling incorporated. This will be done at no cost to customers.
