The official notice
Defect
Note: Station wagon vehicles only. Young children left unattended in the vehicle could lock themselves in the footwell area of the rear-facing third seat (or the underfloor storage compartment in station wagons not equipped with the optional third seat). Once the compartment is closed, it cannot be opened from the inside, and there is the danger of air deprivation, excessive body heat and panic response to a child who may have closed himself or herself in the compartment.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
A modified latch will be installed which does not have a self-latching feature and allows the compartment cover to be pushed open from the inside.
