Details

Certain four door (sedan and wagon) and five door vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario may have faulty rear door latches.

Corrosion build-up at the pawl pivot area of the latch can cause the latch to bind.

The owner may experience difficulty opening or closing a rear door, and eventually the rear door may not latch properly.

If not latched properly the door may open while the vehicle is in motion.

Correction: Dealers will inspect the rear door latches.

A latch that passes the evaluation will be lubricated to prevent future corrosion.

A latch that does not pass the evaluation will be replaced.
