| Description of the problem | Passenger front door handle snapped free when attempting to open. The rear plastic retaining cap failed prematurely on a seldomly used door.

If this occurred during an emergency situation where the front passenger was incapacitated and needed rapid extraction it is probable the passenger would wind up a fatality. |
