What is being recalled

THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH A SLIDING SIDE-DOOR REAR LATCH THAT WAS IMPROPERLY RIVETED. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 206, "DOOR LOCKS AND DOOR RETENTION COMPONENTS."

Why it is dangerous

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE DOOR WILL NOT PERFORM AS REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SLIDING DOOR REAR LATCH ON ALL SUSPECT VEHICLES.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 95V-197 when calling a dealer.
