Details

What's wrong: The right front door can fail to latch fully when closing, causing the door to "bounce" back off the door seals.

Why it matters: This condition could cause unexpected opening of the door increasing the risk of a vehicle accident or personal injury.

The fix: Dealers will install corrective hardware on the right front door. Delaers will also check the door latches for the other doors at the same time.
