2022 FORD MUSTANG — Complaint #2071905
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LOCK filed March 7, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2071905 (ODI reference 11646919) concerns a 2022 FORD MUSTANG and was filed on March 7, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 27, 2025. The vehicle had 47,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Louisiana based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as latches/locks/linkages:doors:lock, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD MUSTANG cohort independently describe similar latches/locks/linkages:doors:lock failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 FORD MUSTANG shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
