What are the defects?
In certain vehicles, the Owner's Manual supplied contains an error relating to the description of the rear door child lock function where the locked and unlocked positions are incorrectly indicated.
What are the hazards?
If the incorrect information within the Owner's Manual is followed by the consumer, this may lead to potential misuse of the rear door child lock.
However on the vehicle itself, the function of the child safety door lock is according to specification with the indication on the door itself showing the correct locking direction. Consumers are able to confirm the lock is engaged by pulling the interior door handle.
