What is wrong
THE PASSENGER ACCESS DOORS ARE EQUIPPED WITH DIFFERENTIAL AIR MOTORS FOR THE DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING OPERATION. DUE TO THE SIZE AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE DOORS, THE MOTORS THAT HOLD THE DOORS CLOSED CAN BE OVERPOWERED AND THE DOORS CAN BE FORCED OPEN BY A PASSENGER PUSHING AGAINST THEM.
What can happen
IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AS THE DOORS ARE PUSHED OPEN,THE PARKING BRAKES WILL SET, STOPPING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY. THIS COULD RESULT ININJURIES TO STANDING PASSENGERS. IF THE DOORS CAN BE PUSHED OPEN WIDE ENOUGH,A PASSENGER MAY FALL OUT OF THE MOVING VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
AN UNLOADER KIT WILL BE ADDED TO DUMP THE AIR OFF OF THE SMALL CYLINDER SIDE OF THE DOOR MOTOR TO INSURE THAT THE DOORS ARE POSITIVELY LOCKED AND CANNOT BE FORCED OPEN.

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.
