Transport Canada's latest recalls
Ottawa, Ontario - Transport Canada has released the following recalls for specified vehicles.
2000-2002 Ford Focus
Vehicles affected: 91,800
Certain Ford Focus four-door and five-door models originally sold or currently registered in Newfoundland and Labrador, PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario may have corrosion build-up that causes the latches to bind. Dealers will inspect and lubricate latches that pass the inspection, or replace those that do not.

This recall only covers corrosion around the latch, and as far as I knew, it was just for the tail gate; it was brought to our service department's attention a couple months ago I think. But I could be wrong because it doesn't affect any of the Western Provinces.

That doesn't sound like a recall...it might be called that, but that almost sounds more like a TSB...
Still, I'm with Fociphil....Yes! No ZX3's! lol!

I'm listed, but lazy. Next oil change I'll have it addressed. I looked at my latch mechanisms, nothing noticeable there.

Does this have anything to do with my door handle on my passenger side staying open even when the door's closed? Also the fact that you have to pull on the door handle 30 times before the door opens with it?

My 2003 drivers side door latch in cold weather grabs. So I need to carry an extra key just in case.(might be an alignment lock mechanism?)
