Door latch striker assemblies may have a brittle striker sleeve and washer. Failure of either of these parts by cracking could render the door latch inoperative once the door is opened. The striker can- not become disengaged from the lock pillar while the door is closed. Therefore, there is no hazard of door coming open while car is in operation. (Replace door latch striker assemblies.)
