## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the interior housing embossment retaining the interior door handle spring may fracture during normal usage, resulting in insufficient spring force to return the handle to the fully stowed position.  The door latch will remain fully engaged, however, the handle may be loose, causing a rattle or noise, and the handle may not return to the fully closed position.  Depending on spring load force and handle position, the inertial loads experienced by the interior door handle may cause the door latch to open during a side impact crash.  If this were to occur and the door opened during a crash, an occupant not wearing a seatbelt could be ejected from the vehicle, increasing the risk of personal injuries.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, either add a spring embossment reinforcement or replace the interior door handle assembly.
