2016 Ford Mustang latches/locks/linkages problems

“The contact owned a 2016 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds, the driver's side door independently opened. The failure caused severe wind noise to enter the vehicle, and the door ajar warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, where technicians confirmed that the door latch mechanism had failed and stated that the mechanism was subjected to unintended opening. The vehicle was repaired out of pocket. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V331000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages) as the cause of the failure; however, the VIN was not included in the recall.”

“While on a road trip and driving aprx 70 MPH, the passenger door released to the secondary latch position and the "Passenger Door Ajar" light came on. After stopping and opening and closing (and locking) the door, the light went off. However, later it released again. The driver side door also released in the same manor. There were four occasions of this happening. After returning home, I did some research and found Ford's Customer Satisfaction Program 21N10 dated 12-15-2021, which states criteria in which my vehicle falls (Mustang, model year, assembly plant, build dates). I contacted my dealership and was told that my vehicle's VIN was not included in their "OASIS" VIN report, and that they would not honor the terms of the program.”

“The passenger door of my 2016 Mustang Convertible keeps opening to the secondary latch while driving. This has happened multiple times, always while driving at a high speed (70 mph+) on the interstate. It is very frightening to hear wind noise and see a "door ajar" warning on the dash while driving at a high speed, and then have to attempt to find a safe place to pull over to open & close the door so it's fully latched. I've found a recall notice on Ford's website. Both my local Ford dealership & Ford Motor Company's Customer Service have stated my VIN Number are not eligible for the program to have this repaired. I am experiencing the exact issue described: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10205726-0001.pdf”
