Your vehicle was previously repaired under safety recall 15S16 or 16S30. During that repair, your vehicles door latches were to be replaced to help reduce the risk of doors not closing or doors opening while driving.

In certain situations, where the door is able to be closed, the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury
Remedy
