Lock Rod
NOTE:
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1997-2001 Chevrolet Venture, Pontiac Montana/Trans Sport and Oldsmobile Silhouette model vehicles equipped with RPO E58, passenger side power sliding door. Some of these vehicles exhibit a condition in which sliding door closes, but is not latched. If power sliding door opens while vehicle is in motion, particularly when vehicle ascends a hill, makes a turn, or travels over a rough road surface, an unrestrained occupant could fall out of van and be injured. See National Highway Safety and Transportation Administration (NHTSA) safety recalls 01V067000 and 01V264000. Manufacturers safety recall campaign numbers are 01013 and 01059.
