## Discrepancy

THE PASSENGER DOOR INNER LOCKING HANDLE IS CRACKED AT THE TOP OF THE HANDLE, FROM THE KNOB EXTENDING DOWN THE HANDLE, ALL THE WAY THROUGH.  SUSPECT CAUSE IS DUE TO FLEXING OF HANDLE AT KNOB AREA WHERE THE MATERIAL IS TRIMMED OUT.  SUGGEST OEM REVISE DESIGN OF HANDLE TO IMPROVE STRENGTH.
