Recall 2000274

The issue

Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 118 - Power-operated windows, power-operated partitions and power-operated roof panels. If the key is placed in the "accessory" position and remains there for more than 70 seconds, the vehicle delayed accessory relay remains active when the ignition switch is moved to the "off" position, and the vehicle front door is opened. Under this condition, all accessories connected to the accessory relay, including the power windows, remain operable. Correction: Dealers will reconfigure the vehicle front end electronic module.
