Ford recalls 830,000 vehicles

Ford Motor Company on Thursday announced the recall of 830,000 cars and vans in the United States and Mexico for the replacement of faulty side-door latches.

While drivers may have difficulty in shutting doors, doors may also open after having been closed, posing a safety risk, the company said.

"In certain situations where the door is able to be closed, the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury," it said.

Ford said there was one reported accident and one reported injury that may be related to the defect. Recalled vehicles include certain 2013 to 2015 C-MAX cars and Escape sport utility vehicles, 2012-2015 model years of the Focus, and 2014-2016 Transit Connect vans as well as 2015 Mustang and Lincoln MKC model years.
