<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford">Ford</a> has announced that the automaker is recalling 280,946 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/f-150">F-150</a> models in the United States and an additional 68,000 in Canada for faulty door handles. According to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/national highway transportation safety administration">National Highway Transportation Safety Administration</a>, the interior handles feature a housing embossment that may fracture with normal use. If this happens, the door latches may not fully return to their stowed position, and as a result, the doors may pop open during an accident.<br />
<br />
NHTSA says that recall covers certain 2009 and 2010 model year trucks manufactured between January 18, 2008 and November 30, 2009. Ford is expected to begin notifying owners on or before February 14. If owners notice any interior door handle that doesn't return to its stowed position, they'll be urged to return the vehicle to a dealer to have the defective piece replaced free of charge. Eventually, all vehicles in the recall will be asked to return to the dealer for an inspection and free replacement of any trouble parts. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/03/2009-2010-ford-f-150-being-recalled-to-fix-door-handles/#continued">Clear the jump</a> for a look at the full recall notice.<br />
