Defect summary (official text)

The affected vehicles have rear cargo door hinges with welds that may be inadequate for securing the hinge pin to the hinge plate.

If the welds are insufficient, the hinge may fail and the door could open with more force than normal, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy (official text)
TMC will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the hinge weld thickness, replacing the hinge as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 6, 2017. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020.
