All recalls
Latches/locks/linkages: doors: latch
- What is wrong
- Certain sport utility vehicles have a child protection lock (cpl) system on both of the rear side doors. When an operator of the vehicle closes the door very hard with the cpl lever set to the lock position, there is a possibility that the lever may contact the body panel, causing the cpl lever to move into the unlock position.
- Risk
- This condition could allow the door to be opened with the inside while the operator believes that the cpl was activated. If the door were opened from the inside while the vehicle was in motion, an occupant could fall out and be injured.
- Remedy
- Dealers will shorten the cpl lever. Owner notification began may 7, 2004. Owners should contact toyota at 1‑800‑331‑4331.
