Hazard
In the driver and front passenger door locks, inadequate process control during manufacturing has resulted in some units being assembled with the noise-prevention stopper rubber misaligned. Consequently, repeated door opening and closing can cause this rubber to obstruct the door lock mechanism operation, preventing the door from closing securely. In the worst case, the door may open while the vehicle is in motion.

運転者席および助手席用ドアロックにおいて、製造工程での管理が不適切なため、異音防止用ストッパゴムがずれて組付けられたものがある。そのため、ドアの開閉を繰返すと、当該ゴムがドアロック機構の作動を阻害して、ドアを確実に閉じることができなくなり、最悪の場合、走行中にドアが開くおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the driver and front passenger door locks with new parts on all vehicles.
