On certain vehicles, if a front inside door lock switch is held in the locked position while the inside door handle is pulled, the door latch inside handle lever may become out of position relative to the door latch master link. If this occurs, the inside door handle will not return to its normal, stowed position and the door latch will remain in the unlatched position when attempting to close the door. If the driver or front seat passenger does not notice that a front door is unlatched, the door may open while the vehicle is being driven, which increases the risk of personal injury or death to the driver or front seat passenger. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the door latch assemblies.
