What Happened
The mechanism that keeps your front doors closed is called the door latch. In some cases, the cable that helps it work might come loose, causing the door to stick open and not lock properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash and the door doesn't lock, an unbuckled passenger could be thrown out of the vehicle, increasing the risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will add a safety feature to both front doors to prevent the latch cable from coming loose, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
