Description of the problem	I bought a 2005 mercury montego used in 2012. Starting last year during extreme cold weather the drivers side door will open but when you go to close it the door will not latch. It will latch once the weather has warmed up or the car itself has warmed up enough inside. The condition goes away in any other weather. This year 2013 the same thing is happening. Ive looked online and i see a ford recall number of 06s45 that talks about this condition... Door locks freezing in cold weather. I have called the dealer where i bought the car and ford motor company themselves and they are all saying that the recall is vin specific and that my vin is not part of it. When asked why it is not no one call tell me. My car has the exact same condition that is in the recall but for some reason it is not part of it. I can not get an answer from anyone why the recall says certain 2005 mercury montegos but no one from ford or anywhere can tell me why the certain part of the recall excludes my vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
