SUMMARY:
Certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."

This increases the possibility of a door becoming forced open and an unbelted passenger being ejected during certain crash conditions.
