The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with the Soft Close Automatic, as well as the Comfort Access option, the doors may not latch correctly. Should a door open while the vehicle is underway, an unbelted occupant could fall from the vehicle and sustain personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Car Access System Control Module with updated software.

Si une porte s'ouvrait pendant que le véhicule roule, toute personne qui ne serait pas attachée pourrait tomber du véhicule et se blesser. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le logiciel du module de commande par un logiciel à jour.
