The issue

THE SPRING WHICH HOLDS THE LATCH OF THE FRONT DOOR LOCK IN PLACE COULD BREAK. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE DOOR'S PRIMARY LOCK POSITION MAY NOT HOLD, AND THE DOOR WILL BE HELD IN PLACE ONLY BY THE SECONDARY LOCK POSITION. SINCE THE SECONDARY LOCK POSITION IS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED UNDER FORCE, THE FRONT OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE EXPOSED TO DANGER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR WHEN EXTREME FORCES ARE EXERTED ON THE INTERIOR OF THE DOOR.
