On some model x vehicles, an open rear window might cause the rear door ultrasonic sensors to detect non-existent objects, causing the door to stop unnecessarily while it is opening. The user can still continue to open the door by holding the door switch.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
