On certain vehicles, the outside door handles may stick or bind. If this were to occur, the door may not latch when closed. Driving with an unlatched door could result in an unbelted occupant falling out of the vehicle. Correction: Dealers will replace the outside door handles.
On certain vehicles, the nut securing the power steering line to the power steering pump may loosen which could create a power steering fluid leak. If fluid leaks onto hot exhaust components, it could result in an engine compartment fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect and tighten the nut securing the power steering line, and check the fluid level.
