Details
What's wrong: The strikers for the 60/40 door single latch system were found to contain stress cracks at the striker wire lower stake joint. Strikers with stress cracks may not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 206, "door locks and door retention components."
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the door strikers may not hold the door, increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.
The fix: Dealers will replace the door striker.
