Recall number 08V057000 · Recall details
Latches/locks/linkages: doors: latch
- What is wrong
- Ford is recalling 123,632 my 2007-2008 expedition and lincoln navigator vehicles. The door handle housing embossment retaining the bottom of the interior door handle spring on all side doors may fracture during normal customer usage. This can result in insufficient spring force to return the handle to the fully closed position. The handle may be loose causing a rattle or noise and the handle may not return to the fully closed position. This condition may also provide a delayed resistance when actuating the handle prior to opening the door.
- Risk
- In the event of a side impact crash, the interior door handle may cause the door latch to open increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the interior handle spring on all side doors. The recall began on march 5, 2008. Owners may contact ford at 1‑800‑392‑3673.

What 2007 Lincoln Navigator owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Driver's door latch will not open from inside the vehicle
Takata recall. At a slow speed, with the foot on the brake, vehicle accelerates. Speed is generally under 10 MPH and has happened during turning...either left or right. Specifically: it happened once turning left into a parking spot; it happened making a slow right hand turn on a street; it happened again during a left hand turn into a parking garage. We took it to a shop and the mechanic drove it. It happened to him as well, but I don't have the specifics for the one incident, but he also experienced the brakes not engaging normally to the point where he had to push extremely hard on the brake to stop the vehicle. The vehicle is still with the mechanic. I'm not sure if he's finding the exact cause of the problem. The master cylinder has been replace so far, but 3 of the 5 or 6 incidents occurred afterwards. We did contact the local lincoln dealership service department and they told us they have never heard of a similar incident. We just purchased the vehicle second hand and have only owned it for 2 weeks. It started the day after purchase. It's dangerous and we don't know where to turn since we bought the vehicle "as is". Will follow up with the mechanic tomorrow, 05/13/2019.
My 2007 lincoln navigator may need rail cross-over hose because it contains weak areas. The hose may crack, which could cause a fuel odor and/or fuel leak. This is what I'm smelling outside of my truck.
Water appears to have leaked into the interior fuse box , damaging many items and wires under fuse box , wires are sitting in water, causing corruption and loss of lights and other functions
Was driving car shut off...bought new battery instantly, then replaced crankshaft sensor because after car shutoff it wouldnt start back up...
The A/C stops blowing and functioning. Recall # tsb-08-9-1 from 10-23-2008 states this exact issue. When A/C is selected the blower motor automatically goes to high.
Hydraulic struts (lift support) for both front hood and power liftgate completely fail and cannot stay open.
Running board on driver side does not retract after closing the doors. It remains deployed. Have to use my foot to assist it to close.....often. Tried using wd-40 to lubricate the hinges but this only serves as a temporary fix. Issues returns shortly thereafter.
My driver side door latch is broken.....I cant get out of my car...and cant really figure out how to fix
