What NHTSA recorded

The center actuator that releases two catches via two pull rods can become non-functional from poor or improper maintenance, lack of lubrication, corrosion, or a combination all three causes.

Possible consequence

When the center actuator is non-functional, the windowis very difficult to open, and would not function as an emergency exit in caseof a vehicular accident.

Remedy

Remove the old center actuator and install an improved actuator.
