ISSUE:
An air draft may enter the passenger compartment through the front and rear door handles when the windows are fully or partly open. When
the windows are open a vacuum develops inside the passenger compartment that pulls air through the door handles. The affected units are all
except base series vehicles.
ACTION:
To correct this, install a foam gasket around all the door handles to improve sealing quality. Refer to the following service procedure.
1.
Remove front door arm rest pad and arm rest base.
2.
Remove rear door arm rest pad on four (4) door models.
