Details
What's wrong: Water may enter the rear door switch and cause a short circuit, allowing an unlocked rear door to open unexpectedly.
Why it matters: A door that unexpectedly opens while the vehicle is moving increases the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will modify the rear door switch circuits, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed July 13, 2026.
