Ford Recalls 2009-2010 F-150

Ford is recalling about 281,000 F-150 pickup trucks from the 2009 and 2010 model years. The company said the interior door handle spring may fracture, causing the handle to fail to return to the fully stowed position.

In a side impact crash, the door latch could open.

Owners will be notified and instructed to take their vehicles to a Ford or Lincoln dealer if any interior door handle is loose. Dealers will fix the problem free of charge when the recall begins in mid-February.

Owners may contact Ford about Recall No. 11S15 at 1-866-436-7332.
