The recall affects model year 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles, and model year 2013-2014 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles, which were built in Mexico.
The automaker said in a release the broken door latch in the affected vehicles may cause the door open while driving.
Ford said it was aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when a door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space.
There are affected 390,000 vehicles in North America including 336,873 in the United States, 30,198 in Canada and 22,514 in Mexico.
