What is Safety Recall 20S30?

The VIN on the website needs to match the vehicle you are inspecting.

• If you own more than one vehicle of the same model, make sure that you are inspecting the correct vehicle.
• If in doubt, reference the VIN near the top of the Owner Letter you received. Compare it to your vehicle to be sure your vehicle needs an inspection.
• If needed, you can type in your vehicle’s VIN on the fordlatchrecall.com website.

Try these steps:

• Dirt, grime, grease, or other substances can easily obscure the characters in the latch code. Use a cloth to wipe away anything that may be in your way.
• Look at the code from different angles, and adjust the intensity of the light you are using.
• Use chalk or a light-colored crayon to lightly rub across the code and draw out some of the fainter detail.
• If you are unable to read the latch code after taking these steps, be sure to mark the door code in question as Cannot Read and complete the inspection on the remaining door latches.

It is not necessary to finish the inspection, although submitting your inspection results could be helpful. If your vehicle is missing a child lock, you need to schedule an appointment with your Ford Dealer.
