The defect

The door latches may be defective because a pawl spring was not manufactured to specifications. The pawl spring does not create proper tension on the pawl, (a part of the door latch mechanism). This constitutes a non-compliance with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 206, "door latches and door retention components".

The remedy

The dealer will inspect and replace door latches, if necessary.
