What is wrong
THE REAR DOOR FAILED THE FMVSS 217 MAGNITUDE OF FORCE TEST. THE REAR DOOR RELEASE MECHANISM REQUIRES 35 POUNDS OF FORCE TO OPERATE. THIS IS GREATER THAN THE 20 POUNDS MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY THE FMVSS FOR DOORS LABELED 'EMERGENCY EXIT'. HOWEVER, THERE IS MORE UNOBSTRUCTED EXIT AREA THAN REQUIRED BY THE FMVSS, THEREFORE, THE REAR DOOR DOES NOT NEED TO BE LABELED AS AN EMERGENCY EXIT.
What can happen
NONE. TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO COMPLIANCE, THE WORDS 'IN EMERGENCY' WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE REAR DOOR LABEL.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REMOVE WORDS 'IN EMERGENCY' FROM REAR DOOR LABEL.

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.
