What's wrong: 201, "occupant protection in interior impacts." these vehicles have a console cover/armrest cam latch that could release at less than the required load of the standard.

Why it matters: During a crash, the console cover could open and the cover or items stored under it could injury an occupant.

The fix: Dealers will replace the console latch mechanism.
