Summary
This bulletin provides an inspection and repair procedure to address a misalignment of the rear upper and lower window sash which may cause the front door glass to bind or move slowly when opening or closing. This condition may also cause erratic operation of the power window auto-up feature (if equipped). In some cases, when closing the window, the system may mis-interpret the binding condition and activate the pinching hazard prevention feature and reverse the motor’s direction.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 127 complaints in the visibility category.
