What happened

Ford is recalling certain 2015-2017 F-150 trucks and 2017 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks that were equipped with chrome exterior door handle cover accessory kits purchased from Ford dealers. These accessory covers may cause the doors to unlatch during a side impact collision, increasing the risk of occupant injury and potentially failing to meet federal safety standards for door locks and retention.

Ford will notify owners of affected vehicles. Dealers will remove the accessory covers and refund the purchase price. The recall began July 13, 2017. Owners should contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 with questions about their vehicle or to arrange service. Ford's recall number is 17C09.
