Service bulletin 12-151-13R

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

IF YOU RECEIVE A CUSTOMER CONCERN OF THE FRONT DOOR CHECKERS NOT HOLDING THE DOORS SECURELY ENOUGH IN THE HALF OR FULLY OPEN POSITIONS, THIS BULLETIN INFORMS OF A CHANGE WHICH ADDS 2 ADDITIONAL HOLDING POSITIONS AND AN INCREASE TO THE DETENT FORCE OF THE FRONT DOOR CHECKER MECHANISM. THE NEW DOOR CHECKER PROVIDES A MORE POSITIVE FEELING WHEN HOLDING THE FRONT DOORS IN PARTIALLY OPEN POSITIONS.
