The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with the Comfort Access or Comfort Access in combination with the Soft Close Automatic door latching system options, the doors may not latch correctly. As a result, doors which appear to be latched could unlatch while driving. This could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property. Correction: Dealers will remove the cams from the door locks and reprogram the Comfort Access System as necessary.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules munis d'un système de fermeture de porte avec l'option Comfort Access ou avec les options Comfort Access et Soft Close Automatic, les portes pourraient ne pas se fermer correctement. Une porte qui semble bien fermée pourrait donc s'ouvrir pendant que le véhicule roule. Cela pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures à la personne assise près de la porte ou causer des dommages matériels. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires vont retirer les cames des serrures de porte et vont reprogrammer le système Comfort Access au besoin.
