DOOR LATCH FAILURES & DOOR LOCK OPENING DURING ROLLOVER AND WRECKS
Defective door latches
or door lock opening during a crash or rollover has been alleged to be a
serious safety problem amongst automotive engineers and consumer
groups.No door latch recall has been issued by Ford concerning the
following vehicles. The allegation focuses on the vehicles
having a defective door latch, which may open in the event of an accident
can cause and contribute to ejections during wrecks and rollover accidents
with the potential for catastrophic results.
DOOR LOCK
DEFECTS EXPLAINED
 All
vehicle door latch systems, including both the inside and outside door
handles, are required by the (FMVSS 206) to withstand certain pressures
or forces to keep vehicle's door look from opening during a rollover or
typical accident. FMVSS 206 relates to the door latch and FMVSS 206
requires that the door handle and latch mechanism be able to withstand
30 g's of inertial loading in an accident. If the door lock or door
latch failure to hold and opens at under 30 g's, then the door will open
allowing the occupants to be ejected or face untold injuries from being
partially ejected or hit by other objects and other vehicles. Many
vehicles may contain this manufacturing defect in the outside handle
which may make the handle non-compliant with FMVSS 206 and dangerous to
the consumer. The defective door latch problem centers around
the strength of the torsion spring that holds the door handle
shut.This spring controls the amount of force required to operate the
handle and open the door of the vehicle. The door latch problem is
that the spring is too weak and allow openings at a much less force
or fewer pounds of pressure to operate/ lift the handle
than may be required under the Federal law. A weaker door latch
spring can cause door that need to remain shut, to pop open during
a wreck or rollover, at the time that they are the most needed to
protect the safety of the passengers.
