- Notes
- Possibility that hood latch mech- anism has insufficient clearance betweenparts.this could cause primary hood latch to bind, thus interfering with hoodclosure and preventing secondary latch from engaging, in which case hood couldopen while car is in motion.(correct by inspecting and replac- ing latch whennecessary.)

Has your Ford been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
