The defect
THE DOOR LATCHES MAY BE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE A PAWL SPRING WAS NOT MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATIONS. THE PAWL SPRING DOES NOT CREATE PROPER TENSION ON THE PAWL, (A PART OF THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM). THIS CONSTITUTES A NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 206, "DOOR LATCHES AND DOOR RETENTION COMPONENTS".
The remedy
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE DOOR LATCHES, IF NECESSARY.
