The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the pawl spring tab in the side door latch could break. This condition typically will prevent the door from latching. In certain situations where the door is able to be closed, the door may be partially latched and could unlatch while driving. This could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
If a door will not latch, dealers will replace all four door latches with a more robust part.
