How Do I Make a Claim for the Ford Latch Recall

Owners can inspect the latches on their vehicles themselves and submit the latch date codes online to see if they need to be replaced. Owners can also bring their vehicles to a dealer, where the latches will be inspected.

Ford will replace defective latches free of charge. Ford owners can contact Ford customer service at 866 -436-7332 or check the NHTSA recalls website to see if their vehicle is involved in the recall.

There are problems with this plan. Having customers inspect their own latches seems like a perfect way for Ford to claim you caused the damage. If you take the car to the dealership, you have to make a trip, possibly for nothing.

There 's no timetable on when Ford will replace the latch or information about what part of the cost Ford will be responsible for.
