Details

What's wrong: The owner's manual incorrectly states that the front passenger door cannot be opened from the inside if the door is locked until the lock control handle has been pulled up. On these vehicles, the front passenger door can be opened by the inside door handle even if the door is locked.

Why it matters: The error in the owner's manual may lead a front seatpassenger to mistakenly open the car door while the vehicle is in motion,believing the inside door handle would not open if the door was locked. Thiscould result in an injury to the front seat passenger.

The fix: Notify the vehicle owners of the error in the owner's manual and inform them of the actual operation of the front door lock system.
