2005 Ford Freestyle Recall
#5
Quote:Make: FORD
Model: FOCUS
Affected Year(s): 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 
Units Affected: 152181
TC Recall #: 2005025
Manufacturer: 
Campaign Code: 05S27


Certain four door (sedan and wagon) and five door vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario may have faulty rear door latches. Corrosion build-up at the pawl pivot area of the latch can cause the latch to bind. The owner may experience difficulty opening or closing a rear door, and eventually the rear door may not latch properly. If not latched properly the door may open while the vehicle is in motion. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rear door latches. A latch that passes the evaluation will be lubricated to prevent future corrosion. A latch that does not pass the evaluation will be replaced.

Your post made me think. My passenger rear door is very dificult to open so I thought I would check it out. It seems there is a similar problem with the Focus. I am going to call my dealer tomorrow and find out what the deal is.

Sorry for your frustration, lets hope I don't have a similar problem. With a 6 year old and a baby on the way within the next month or so this recall has got me worried. Here is hoping I don't run into a similar issue.
