ISSUE:
Some customers have mentioned poor appearance of outside door handles due to wax build-up which may be caused by wax material used by
many automatic car washes. The matte finish of the outside door handle(s) may retain the wax even after the rinse cycle, resulting in an
unsightly appearance that is hard to clean off.
ACTION:
To remove the wax build-up, use the following service procedure.
1.
Obtain a soft cotton rag and one (1) can of tar and road oil remover (B7A-19520-A).
2.
Wash the door handles with soap and water. Dry the door handles.
3.
Apply tar and road oil remover on the cotton rag and wipe the door handles. This will help dissolve and remove the wax build-up.

If the rear door latch does not release when actuated by the outside door handle, but the door can be opened with the inside door handle, it may be due to
the door latch outside handle release lever binding and taking a permanent set.
In these cases, the rear door handle and the rear door latch assembly must be replaced with new parts of an improved design.
