According to the federal agency, the latches could remain locked even after a driver or front passenger has exited the vehicle, posing a risk if there is a child or other person who cannot operate the door release from the inside. Ford plans to send notifications to owners starting June 23, and the problem will be corrected via a software update, expected to be available by the end of September.
