  • LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH Recall for 2008 Ford Expedition

    • Recall Announced FEBRUARY 05 2008
    • NHTSA Reference #08V058000
    • Number Affected 123,632

    Summary: Ford is recalling 123,632 MY 2007-2008 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles.

This condition may also provide a delayed resistance when actuating the handle prior to opening the door.

    Consequence: In the event of a side impact crash, the interior door handle may cause the door latch to open increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.

    Fix: Dealers will replace the interior handle spring on all side doors. The recall began on March 5, 2008. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
