For some Nubira 5-Door models, it is possible that the alarm may be triggered when opening the rear hatch with the key. If the key is rotated slowly, it is possible that the rear latch could be released before the lock switch disables the alarm system. To correct this condition, Daewoo has developed an updated rear hatch lock rod which is 5 mm shorter than the original rod.

A supply of updated lock rods has been shipped to your location and are available for customer complaints/concerns.





All applicable Store stock units should be immediately updated with the new lock rod. Affected customer vehicles, demonstrators, DCA vehicles, etc. should be updated as they come in for periodic service and/or repairs regardless if a complaint has been made.
