What is wrong
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 fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE DOOR LATCHES, IF NECESSARY.

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.
