Ford recall: Inside door locks broken

Ford is recalling 45,173 of its 2015 Fiesta, 2016 Fusion, and 2016 Lincoln MKZ vehicles sold or ever registered in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

These vehicles' inside door locks have a component that may break and could allow the door to open while the car is moving. According to a NHTSA report, this can increase the risk of injury or crash.

Dealers will look at the door, and if a repair is necessary, they will replace all locks in all four doors at no cost.

Letters will be mailed to owners on Dec. 4. Owners of these vehicles can call Ford at 1-866-436-7332. The recall number is 20V-177.

Jaguar recall: Engine-mounted oil cooler hoses unsecured

Dealers will replace the fasteners and oil cooler hoses if there is a problem at no cost to the owner.

Volvo Trucks recall: Accelerator pedal position sensor deattached

Volvo is recalling 1,009 of its 2023-2024 VN trucks. If the accelerator pedal position sensor comes loose, the engine may not return to idle.

If an engine does not return to idle quickly, the vehicle could lose control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury, according to an NHTSA report.

Dealers are still trying to find a way to fix this problem. Notification letters will go out on Jan. 21, 2024. If owners have any questions, they can contact Volvo Trucks at 1-800-528-6586. The recall number is RVXX2313.
