Narrative

On XXX, while my 2014 Ford Fusion was moving, the left-front door latch failed and the door became unsecured. As a result, I partially fell from the moving vehicle. This was an actual occupant safety event and created a significant risk of serious injury. After the incident, I took the vehicle to Richmond Ford Lincoln for inspection and repair. On XXX, the dealership performed a door-latch recall repair. The dealership service order, SO #XXX, identifies the repair request as “DOOR LATCH REPLACEMENT 20R01 - L/F DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE.” The service order identifies the cause as “recall” and documents the correction as “performed recall replaced latches.” The parts listed include a door latch and cable assembly, and the invoice total was $0.00. The dealership's documentation therefore confirms that a door-latch recall repair was required on this vehicle. The recall repair occurred eight days after the XXX incident. I am requesting that NHTSA review this incident in connection with Ford Fusion door-latch recalls and related programs and determine whether the XXX failure represents a failure of a recalled component, a prior recall remedy, or another safety defect. I request that NHTSA review the recall and campaign history associated with VIN [XXX], the specific door-latch program applicable to this vehicle, whether the failed latch had previously been repaired or replaced, and whether additional investigation or corrective action is warranted. The vehicle was repaired on XXX. I
