Home › Cars & vehicles › Kiekert USA — Doors may Unexpectedly Open
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury or the risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
Ford and Volvo have recalls to notify their owners, and their dealers will replace all four door latches, free of charge. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552.

Ford and Volvo are recalling cars built with certain Kiekert USA (Kiekert) C1A door latches. A component within the door latches may break as a result of excessive temperatures within the door, making the doors difficult to latch and/or leading the driver or a passenger to believe a door is securely closed when, in fact, it is not.
