Unsure of the specific incident date. The failure is the plastic molding around the inside door handle for 3 out of 4 doors. The plastic has broken, exposing the inside mechanics and allowing for the handled to extend further than necessary. This makes exit questionable as the door handle is only holding on to the latch without any place for leverage. In the event of an accident/emergency, if the door was to be…
