2014 Ford Transit Connect locks complaints

The driver's side door of my vehicle will no longer latch. This problem appeared without any precipitating event, just ordinary use of the door. When I researched the problem online, I see that the ford motor company has recalled vehicles of the same model and year with this problem. I consulted a ford dealer about repair of the problem and they said that the recall did not apply to my car's VIN. They also told me that they had had a vehicle of the same model and year in their shop that very day with the same problem that was also not covered by the recall. I feel that this problem very much pertains to the safety of the vehicle, as the door of a vehicle with this problem may latch after repeated attempts to shut it, and subsequently become unlatched while driving. This is certainly a frightening prospect. I feel that the problem should be addressed proactively to avoid serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
