DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Ford Motor Co. is recalling 205,000 sedans due to an issue with the spring in the cars' interior door handles which could cause the doors to open in a side impact crash.

The recall affects 2010-13 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans sold in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The vehicles were built between 2009 and 2012 at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.

Ford dealers will inspect all four doors on recalled vehicles' handle springs at their service locations, and replace the handles if necessary.

In addition to the sedan recall, Ford is also recalling 16,100 Ford Transit Connect vans due to concerns the seat belt fasteners were not properly tightened and may loosen over time. Ford dealerships are also equipped to repair the vans' seat belts.

Ford says it is unaware of any injuries or accidents stemming from either recalled part.
