Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have rear cargo door hinges with welds on the hinge pin and hinge plate that may be insufficient, and as a result, the top of the door may swing down with more force than normal.

Why it matters: If the door does not open as expected, there would be an increased risk of injury to those in the door's path.

The fix: Drv will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the weld thickness, and if necessary replace the hinge, free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2017.
