Defective door component (child safety lock markings). ■ Defective component (part name): Door component (child safety lock markings). ■ Description and cause of the defective structure, equipment or performance: The marks indicating the location of the child safety lock mechanisms on the left and right rear doors are stamped in inappropriate positions, so users may mistakenly believe that they indicate the operating lever's lock status.

In the worst case, a rear-seat occupant may exit the vehicle and be injured. Published 2020-06-18.
