Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

The outside latch of the trimark rear doors does not work in unison with the striker, causing the rods of the doors to bind. This binding caused the striker paddle to break, and the doors to not completely latch shut.

Possible consequence

The lack of secure door latching in the rear door increases the possibility of injury to passengers riding in the rear of the ambulance.

Remedy

Replace the trimark latch with a different design latch.
