Ford will voluntarily recall 859 vehicles in Canada due to a problem with the left rear door child lock. Affected models include the 2013 Ford Escape, C-MAX and Focus.

In some cases, that lock may not engage when the owner uses normal turning force. As a result, the door can be opened using the inside door handle. This condition could potentially increase the risk of injury to an unrestrained child.

Ford dealers will therefore inspect the door latch and replace it if necessary.
