Summary

In some of the affected vehicles, moisture and water entering a power door lock actuator housing can cause the actuator motor to momentarily freeze in cold temperatures and may also cause actuator motor corrosion over time.

PROGRAM TERMS

This program extends the warranty coverage of the power door lock actuators to 10 years of service or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle, whichever occurs first. If a vehicle has already exceeded either the time or mileage limits, this extended warranty coverage will last through December 31, 2021.

REASON FOR PROVIDING EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE

In some of the affected vehicles, moisture and water entering a power door lock actuator housing can cause the actuator motor to momentarily freeze in cold temperatures and may also cause actuator motor corrosion over time. Frozen water within a power door lock actuator housing or corrosion of the power door lock actuator motor could result in an inoperative power door lock function on the affected door.

NOTE: If a power door lock is inoperative due to an actuator failure, the customer will still be able to manually lock and unlock the vehicle using the door lock indicator located on the top of the door panel, or the door lock cylinder key.

 

SERVICE ACTION

NOTE: For vehicles outside new vehicle bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage, advise customer that the program focus is only on the power door lock actuators. Any other failure modes (fuse, wiring, door latch, etc.) are not covered by this program.

If an affected vehicle exhibits the condition listed above, dealers must perform Workshop Manual (WSM) diagnostics to determine the root cause of the failure. If a power door lock actuator is found to be at fault, dealers are to the reprogram the Body Control Module (BCM) software using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) release 122.03 or higher and replace the affected power door lock actuator(s) using one of the three technical instructions (listed below as Procedure A, Procedure B, or Procedure C). The procedures have been developed based on vehicle build dates and Field Service Action (FSA) 18N03 repair status. This service must be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner.

Procedure A: Reference the table below to determine if the affected vehicle meets any of the criteria. Procedure A must be used for any vehicles that falls within the build date criteria in the table below.

Procedure C: This procedure applies to vehicles that have FSA 18N03 open in the vehicle OASIS menu.

  • NOTE: Safety Recall 17S33 must be closed prior to completing Procedure C.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner Letters are expected to be mailed the week of July 26, 2021. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that experience issues with the power door lock actuators, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

 

SOLD VEHICLES

  • Only owners with affected vehicles that exhibit the covered condition will be directed to dealers for repairs.
  • Dealers are to prioritize repairs of customer vehicles over repairs of new and used vehicle inventory.
