What Happened
The driver's door module in your vehicle controls the power locks and windows. It's the part with the circuit board that makes these functions work. In some 2005-2007 models, water may seep into the module and cause corrosion, which can lead to a short circuit.
Risk if Unfixed
A short in the circuit board could cause a fire, even when the car is parked and not in use. This could lead to injuries or property damage.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check the driver's door module and either apply a protective coating or replace it if it's not working properly – both of which are free of charge. You'll be contacted when it's time for the repair, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
