This Service Action provides information relating to 2006-2010 Sedona vehicles produced from 6/15/2005 to 10/19/2009. Some Sedona vehicles withimproperly maintained latches for their sliding doors can accumulate sufficient road dirt to cause the latches to stick by impeding rotation of the latcharound the pin.
