Door Latch Recall: HOW TO ESCAPE

Описание к видео Door Latch Recall: HOW TO ESCAPE

In September 2016, Ford issued a recall for '13-'15 Ford Escapes to have their side door latches replaced with a sturdier latch and pall mechanism.

This is a video showing what that mechanism does when it fails and what it actually is. PLEASE get this fixed proactively and do not resort to a ratchet strap like I did to bring it into the dealer!
