Ford issues SUV recall to fix doors

Ford Motor Co. is recalling 123,632 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator sport utility vehicles to fix door handles that might allow latches to open in a side-impact crash.

The housing for springs in the interior handles of 2006 and 2007 models can break during normal use and not return the handles to their locked position, Dearborn, Mich.-based Ford told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. No accidents or injuries from the condition have been reported, Ford said.

Separately, Ford told NHTSA it’s recalling 57,199 SUVs and vans for possible fuel-line leaks in the engine compartment.

The problem is in a fuel rail crossover hose in 2006- and 2007-model Econoline E-150, E-250, E-350 vans and 2007 Expedition and Navigator SUVs equipped with a 5.4-liter engine, Ford said.
