Reported @ Kickingtires found here.
Ford issued two recalls today according to the NHTSA. The big news for Ford owners out there is that 139,537 Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego sedans from the 2005 model year, along with 2005 - 06 Ford Freestyle crossovers, are being recalled over faulty door latches that may leak, leading to the door latches freezing in cold weather possibly resulting in doors opening while moving.
In a separate recall, more than 6,000 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid SUVs are being recalled due to potential fracturing of the drivetrain, which could allow the vehicle to move when parked.
Owners should contact their local Ford dealer to schedule an inspection of the drivetrain; if it's faulty, it will be replaced. There's no word yet on how dealers will fix the larger door latch problem.
Way to go Ford. But as I was reminded, at least they are doing the recall and not trying to cover it up.
