Details
What's wrong: Excess lubrication can cause the rubber door latch switch cover to deform, and the door latch switch to malfunction, so that the shoulder belt anchorage would remain at the a-pillar when the door was closed.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.
The fix: Dealers will replace the door latch switch.
