SAFETY
Subject:
05077- REAR SIDE DOOR CLOSURE
Models:
2002-2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT
2002-2003 GMC ENVOY XL
LOCATED IN CORROSION AREAS
Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2002-2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy
XL vehicles that have ever been registered in corrosion areas. The rear side doors on these vehicles may not latch or may not unlatch properly due to
corrosion caused by road splash, such as water and road salt. Depending on the location of the corrosion in the latch, the door may either be difficult to
open from the inside or outside, or may bounce back when the door is swung shut from the outside. The driver information center may or may not
indicate that the door is ajar. If the door is not latched properly and it goes unnoticed, it may open while the vehicle is in motion. If the occupant is
unbelted, they may fall out of the vehicle and personal injury could occur.
Correction
Dealers are to install a seal to prevent water intrusion into the latch. The latch is also to be inspected and replaced, if necessary.
