What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles may have been built with left door lock assemblies that contain pawl spring retainers that were not produced to engineering specifications. Consequently, the spring could break, causing the latch pawl to disengage from the latch cam.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install a new pawl spring and correct the flange alignment, without charge.
