Dodge Avenger: 07V104000
RepairPal Expert Overview
Our Quick Take:
Door latches secure the doors in the closed position. In some cases, the door latches in the front doors may stick in the open position, which would prevent them from being secure in the closed position. The door could open unexpectedly.
What Should You Do?
We at RepairPal have designated this a medium priority recall; this would change to high if any problems are noted with front doors latching properly. Please contact your Dodge dealer. They will check to see if your specific vehicle is affected and advise you on what to do next. Always have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.
Summary:
The front doors may not be secured because of a flaw with the door latch and the cable that mounts to the interior door handle. If the door is not secured, an occupant may be injured by a door opening unexpectedly. Dealers will add a secondary device to secure the door at the latch cable. The Chrysler recall number is G12. This recall began on April 30, 2007.
