## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the door latch pawl has a coating which will swell in high humidity conditions. In some cases, the latch pawl may stick in the open or unattached position due to this swelling.  If this occurs, the door may not latch when it is closed and in some cases the door may appear to close but the latch may not be engaged.  If the vehicle is driven in this condition, it could potentially result in the door opening while the vehicle is in motion.  Correction:  Revised side door latches will be installed on affected vehicles.
