Power Window Switch may Allow Pinch/FMVSS 118
Description
Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain aftermarket power window switches, Dorman-brand part numbers 901-601 and 901-370, and Solutions-brand part numbers 730-7444-1 and 730-7630-1. When the switch has been activated to raise the window, if something, such as a finger, is between the window glass and the window frame, the switch will not auto-reverse to prevent an injury. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."
Injuries / Consequence
If the anti-pinch function does not perform as intended during either the accidental or intentional activation of the auto-up feature of the switch, there would be an increased risk of an injury.
Remedy
Dorman will notify owners and dealers will replace the window switch, free of charge. The recall began on September 18, 2017. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492.
