What is wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 118, "POWER-OPERATED WINDOW SYSTEMS". THE POWER-OPERATED WINDOW SYSTEM WAS EQUIPPED IN ERROR WITH A RELAY WHICH MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO OPERATE THE WINDOWS WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS SWITCHED OFF, OR REMOVED.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL MODIFY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BY REMOVING THE RELAY FROM THE POWER WINDOW SYSTEM TO PRECLUDE OPERATION OF THE WINDOWS WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS NOT TURNED ON OR IS REMOVED ENTIRELY.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
