What is wrong

Certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 206, "door locks and door retention components." an incorrect right front door latch reinforcement plate may have been installed which may cause the secondary door latch to become inoperative.

The risk

This increases the possibility of a door becoming forced open and an unbelted passenger being ejected during certain crash conditions.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the latch assembly and replace the right front door latch reinforcement plate free of charge. The recall began on march 13, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-[removed].
