What owners report
Rear passenger door experiences intermittent safety defect where it fails to latch or seal closed, bouncing back open when shut.

This exposes the occupantâpotentially a childâto a direct risk of ejection from the vehicle, as well as catastrophic injury from side-impact collisions where the structural integrity of the passenger cage is compromised due to an unlatched door. ⢠When the rear passenger position is not occupied: Even when emp

It said driving was still possible but take the vehicle to a dealer for evaluation when possible. This message popped up and went away the rest of the day and first half of the following day. I researched the message and apparently my make year and model have a known issue with the steering rack design that causes it to fail prematurely.
