The fulcrums of the open/close levers of the rear door outer handles may not be caulked properly, and those levers may not go back to the right position when the door is closed, in which case the latches will not be fully secured. Such unsecured latches may separate from the strikers due to vibration during driving etc., and in the worst case the doors could open while driving.
