Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the emergency trunk release handle may be installed or forced out of the proper position.

Why it matters: If the cable is out of the proper position, it could increase the force required to activate the emergency trunk release handle and a person trapped in the trunk may not be able to release the trunk latch using the emergency trunk release handle.

The fix: Dealers will secure the emergency trunk release cable to ensure that the emergency trunk release handle operates properly. Owner notification began December 19, 2002.
