2010 Ford F-150, 2 of my doors cannot be opened due to a defect of components in the handles. Ford does have a recall affecting the the same situation as mine, but according to my VIN# my vehicle is not included. This could be a deadly situation if needing to exit the vehicle through those doors. I will attach a copy of the recall and of my door handles.

My passenger side rear door is stuck closed. I have tried to open it from inside and outside and made sure it was not locked. I have removed the door panel inside as much as I could to try and pull the cable for the latch. Even pulling the cable to the lock actuator does not disengage the door latch. When I did this I noticed that the door handle spring had broken through the plastic that holds it in place. I tried to research this problem online and I noticed there was a recall for this exact issue. When I contacted ford customer service they told me that my vehicle was not included in the recall and that it was VIN specific. I don't understand how there can be a safety issue warranting a recall, my vehicle has the same problems as those included in the recall yet mine is not covered. I asked why that would be and the csr only answered with his scripted response of 'this is a VIN specific recall'. Despite this, I ordered a new door handle and waited for it to arrive hopefully thinking that it would solve the problem, however once the new handle was installed, the door still will not open.

There is already a recall on these vehicles for the door handle. The recall number is 11s15. The interior door handle breaks under normal use and does not spring back into position. This can cause a problem in an accident. The dealer and ford say my VIN is not in the recall, but my truck is the same year. My truck was stationary. The rear door handle broke where my son sits in the back.

My passenger side interior door handle has just fractured, exactly as described in your the federal safety agency campaign id # 11v0490000. This was a recall of approximately 300,000 2009 and 2010 f 150's. When I enter my VIN on your site it does not come up, however I understand this is a potentially dangerous condition. Perhaps my production date falls outside of the recall dates, however my truck has the exact same safety issue, and only has 18,000 miles on it. Could you please advise me how to proceed, as I would like to have this corrected by a ford dealer as soon as possible. Thank you.

I found the recall number from ford is 11s15 online. The dealership says that it does not apply to my 2010 ford f150. However, the same dealership is indicating that all four of the interior door handles are failing and need to be replaced. If one failed I might believe wear and tear, but all four would indicate a defect as described in the recall referenced above.
