What's wrong: During a service visit, a replacement electronic control unit (ECU) May have been installed with incorrect programming, which can cause the automatic door locking (adl) function to not lock the doors as intended.
Why it matters: Doors that do not lock as intended while the vehicle is in motion May open during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
