The issue

Note: Station wagon vehicles only. Young children left unattended in the vehicle could lock themselves in the footwell area of the rear-facing third seat (or the underfloor storage compartment in station wagons not equipped with the optional third seat). Once the compartment is closed, it cannot be opened from the inside, and there is the danger of air deprivation, excessive body heat and panic response to a child who may have closed himself or herself in the compartment. Correction: A modified latch will be installed which does not have a self-latching feature and allows the compartment cover to be pushed open from the inside.

Description (français)

Les jeunes enfants laissés sans surveillance à l'intérieur du véhicule pourraient s'enfermer dans le puits situé devant le troisième siège (ou dans le compartiment de rangement aménagé sous le plancher des familiales qui ne sont pas équipées du troisième siège facultatif ) . Une fois fermé, le compartiment ne peut être ouvert de l'intérieur et il se peut qu'un enfant qui s'y serait enfermé soit pris de panique, asphyxié par manque d'air ou incommodé par la chaleur excessive.
