Category Applicable Model/s Subject Bulletin No. 042/87
14 1986-1987 DOOR INTERIOR TRIM ODOR Issued 7/8/87
323 & 323(W) Revised 9/23/87




DESCRIPTION

It has been reported in some markets that the interior door panel trim gives off a fishy or musty odor. An investigation has revealed that a substance in the binder for the base plate may possibly react, resulting in the odor. To prevent this problem from occurring, the binder for the base plate has been changed to a resin which does not contain the odor-causing substance.

If you encounter the above odor problem, replace the door trim with a modified panel.
