Hyundai Motor Company Australia will contact owners of affected vehicles via mail and request that they arrange an appointment with an authorised Hyundai dealership to have the sliding door lock mechanism inspected. If the lock mechanism is found to be defective, it will be replaced free of charge.

Defect

In some vehicles, the locking mechanism on the rear sliding door may be defective and unable to hold the door open. When the vehicle is at a forward incline, the holding mechanism may fail, resulting in the door sliding forward and slamming shut.
