Defect
A manufacturing defect in the back door latch results in incorrect dimensions on the latch's resin body, preventing the locking mechanism from engaging. As a result, the back door may not close securely. In the worst case, the door may open while the vehicle is in motion, causing cargo to fall from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the back door latch. If the resin body dimensions are out of specification, replace the complete back door latch assembly with a conforming unit.
