Details

What's wrong: Water intrusion can cause a short circuit in the power door lock assembly.

Why it matters: A short circuit in the power door lock assembly can result in a vehicle fire.

The fix: Dealers will replace the power door lock relay and any corroded terminals. In addition, the new relay will be relocated to an area where water intrusion is less likely.
