The issue

TWO DOOR MODELS. FATIGUE CRACKS MAY OCCUR IN THE DOOR LOCK PILLARS AT THE FRONT DOOR LATCH STRIKER REINFORCEMENT ATTACHMENT LOCATIONS. THE FATIGUE CRACKS MAY PROPOGATE TO THE EXTENT THAT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DOOR LATCH STRIKER ATTACHMENT MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED CREATING THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE DOOR MAY NOT BE SECURELY RETAINED. THIS CONDITION IS OBSERVABLE BY VISIBLY NOTICEABLE CRACKS ON THE DOOR LOCK PILLAR ADJACENT TO THE STRIKER ASSEMBLIES.

Description (français)

Des fissures dues à la fatigue peuvent se produire sur les montants des portières avant à l'endroit de fixation des penes des serrures. Ces fissures peuvent devenir suffisamment importantes pour menacer l'intégrité de la fixation du pêne de la serrure. La portière peut alors ne plus être retenue d'une manière sûre. Ce défaut peut être constaté par la présence de fissures visibles sur le montant de la portière, près du pêne.
