The problem

On certain vehicles, the front door latch cable may become partially unseated from the interior release handle housing possibly causing the latch to stick in the unlatched position or the lock function to become inoperative.

The risk

Driving a vehicle with an unlatched door can result in an unbelted front seat occupant falling out of the vehicle or being ejected in a crash, causing increased risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will add a secondary retention feature to both front doors. This action will supersede and expand a previous safety recall (Please see 07v-104). The recall began on october 29, 2007. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
