If the top edge of the handle has very thin chrome plating, that portion of the plating may wear away more easily than more thickly plated areas as the door handle is used.

Why it matters: This may inflict laceration injuries to anyone using the door handle.
The fix: Dealers will repair the chrome plated interior door handle free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during June 2009.
