That was quick. Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford) has issued a recall for a whopping 71 2011 Lincoln MKX (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mkx) and 2011 Ford Edge (http://www.autoblog.com/model/edge) models due to rear latches that are unable to be locked. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nhtsa), the locks weren't programmed properly from the factory, and as such, the rear gate can't be locked by any of the buttons inside of the vehicle or even the key fob.
NHTSA says that the problem violates the agency's motor vehicle safety standard number 206 pertaining to locks and door retention components.
Ford will reprogram the locks free of charge, and the recall is set to get under way starting on November 1. Owners can contact Ford or the NHTSA to learn more about having their vehicles repaired.
