Latches/locks/linkages: doors, latch

NHTSA campaign 08V058000 · reported February 5, 2008 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 123,632 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Ford is recalling 123,632 my 2007-2008 expedition and lincoln navigator vehicles. The door handle housing embossment retaining the bottom of the interior door handle spring on all side doors may fracture during normal customer usage. This can result in insufficient spring force to return the handle to the fully closed position.

This condition may also provide a delayed resistance when actuating the handle prior to opening the door.
The risk
