The problem
These vehicles were built with a sliding side-door rear latch that was improperly riveted. This does not meet the requirements of FMVSS no. 206, "door locks and door retention components."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: in the event of a vehicle crash, the door will not perform as required by the standard.
The fix
Dealers will replace the sliding door rear latch on all suspect vehicles.
