Issue
On the front doors, the adhesive on the door sash tape is insufficiently strong. The overlapping section of the tape at the upper door corner may shift, causing the overlapping tip to form a sharp projection. Contact with this corner during door opening and closing while entering or exiting the vehicle may cause minor injury.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the weatherstrip with a corrected/revised part.
