2007–2008 Dodge Avenger recall: door latches & locks
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the front door LATCH cable may become partially unseated from the interior release handle housing causing the door LATCH to stick in the open position and not be secured to the striker.
💥 The risk
During certain crash conditions, the possibility of a door opening could cause an unbelted passenger to be ejected, increasing the risk of injuries.
🔧 The fix
This action is superseded (please see 07-V414.) dealers will add free of charge a secondary feature to both front doors to prevent the door LATCH cable ferrule from becoming unseated at the interior front door release handle housing. The recall began on april 30, 2007. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
