What is wrong

Water can enter the door latch release cable. If the vehicle is operated in below freezing temperatures, the water in the door latch release cable can freeze and cause the latch mechanism to malfunction.

The risk

The malfunction of the door latch release can result inthree different problems: 1) the door will not be able to be relatched, 2) theinside door handle can become inoperative, and 3) the door could appear to belatched when it is not, allowing the door to open unexpectedly if it is jarred,and increasing the risk of injury to the adjacent seat occupant.

The fix

Revised door release cables and water shields will be installed.
