DEARBORN, Mich.--Ford Motor Co. (F) is recalling more than
221,000 cars and vans to fix problems with door latches and seat
belts.
The biggest recall covers nearly 205,000 Ford Taurus, Lincoln
MKS and Police Interceptor models in North America from the 2010 to
2013 model years. Ford says a door latch spring can become
unseated, allowing the door to unlatch in a side-impact crash. The
company says it knows of no injuries from the problem. Dealers will
inspect the latches and replace door handles if needed.
The second recall covers just over 16,000 Transit Connect small
vans in the U.S. from the 2014 model year. Seat-belt fasteners can
loosen, causing the belts to malfunction. Ford says the problem
hasn't caused any crashes or injuries.
Dealers will replace and tighten the seat-belt fasteners.
