Defect
Insufficient waterproofing of the cable for the rear door active power lock system allows water to enter the cable, causing rust to develop. The resulting increase in sliding resistance raises the operating force required at the rear door handle. In the worst case, the rear door may become impossible to open.
Corrective action
Inspect the rear door active power lock system cable on all vehicles. If an uncorrected part is installed, replace it with a corrected part.
