Hazard

The worm gear structure within the power sliding door release actuator (a device that electrically operates the door latches on the front and rear sides of the sliding door) is inadequately designed. When the actuator operates during door opening, the worm gear deflects excessively and can ride up on the worm wheel gear, causing it to seize. This prevents the door latch release lever from moving from its open position. As a result, the sliding door may not lock securely, and in the worst case, the sliding door could open while the vehicle is in motion.

電動スライドドアのリリースアクチュエータ(スライドドアの前側と後側のドアラッチを電動で開放させる装置)内のウォームギヤ部の構造が不適切なため、ドアを開ける際のアクチュエータ作動時にウォームギヤが大きくたわみ、ウォームホイールギヤに乗上げて固着すると、ドアラッチ開放レバーが開放位置から動かなくなるものがある。そのため、スライドドアが確実にロックされず、最悪の場合、スライドドアが走行中に開くおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the release actuator with a corrected component on all vehicles.
