Details
What's wrong: An incorrect label was installed on the driver side rear door. This label contains instructions for the activation of the childproof safety locks.
Why it matters: The operator of the vehicle may believe the childproof safety lock was activated when it was not, potentially allowing the door to be opened from the inside.
The fix: Owners will be provided with a replacement label and installation instructions.
