Sharp edge on front doors

I once burned my hand on the stove, because the burning was on and I set my hand on it.
I was 6 at the time.
Never did that again. That was way back in the dark ages...1978.

By the way, no safety warning on the stove about "burners may be hot. do not touch when hot!"
Must sue someone for this!
I'll start with the manufacturer, the store I bought it from, the salesperson that sold it to my family, the Department of Transportation that the delivery truck drove upon.
Also, will sue the gas station that provided fuel to the truck that delivered my stove. Also, suing the electrician that installed it. Suing the electric company that supplies electricity to our house that powers the stove.

But most off all, I can't possibly take any responsibility, that must not happen!

(Before all the parents start preaching to me "what about the kids", be a parent and keep them clear of the vehicle door. That should go for ANY vehicle. Sharp edges are one thing, but little hands, arms and heads can easily get caught in doors and door frames on ANY vehicle, causing severe injury. It's up to you as the parent to watch out for your children.)
 
I was driving my sisters Palisade and my leg barely touched the edge of the door and cut my right leg open like a knife wound. This is a serious design flaw in this SUV. I drove this over the weekend on a vacation. If i was drinking or something I would chalk it off but this is a bad design. I had a serious deep gash to my leg that barely touched the door. I'm, sure this is going to leave a scare. Wish I had known as I did not need this to happen.
 
I don't know. I have had my car for a year and a couple days now. Drive it regularly to work. I have not once cut, bruised or otherwise injured myself in, on or about my car. Either I'm extremely lucky, or I'm just aware of my surroundings and how I interact with objects near me. Probably the later would be my guess.
 
That door cut me open ..never happened before in my life...it is dangerous..
 
I have to park the Pali in a tight garage, so can only open the door to the first 'detent', and have never even touched the door with my legs. Don't know what you guys were doing to cut your legs, but it's not an issue for the ultra great majority of owners. For those who it's an issue, just file the edge, and problem solved :). In fact, that's what I just did on both front doors, and touched up the very edges with a silver Sharpie.
 
This was a first for me. I was wearing shorts but if I had on pants most likely would not have happened. It’s a pretty sharp edge on the door.
 
No, I didn’t eat paste in school and move out of a moving objects way.
 
I got me a couple of times, I walked into Walmart and some lady said "OH MY GOD YOU ARE BLEEDING!!" Looked down and the blood was running into my shoe.

STEP AWAY FROM THE DOOR !!

Happened to me July 14 on NissanVersa Note SV driver side. Nasty and deep gash. Ten stitches. The doctor said oh we see this all the time with all kinds of cars. I just saw that they sell edge protectors. I’m going to get one.
 
Good news - there's a TSB out for this now; was in the shop this week for some maintenance and without asking the dealer replaced the "Front Door Low Garnish". The service manager wasn't even aware but looked it up and said it had just come out very recently and was indeed related to "sharp edges" on some vehicles. The description reads "Perform recall to TSB 10D219R0". They couldn't do anything about the scar on my leg though! Good luck.

I used 400 grit paper and sanded it smooth. It works perfect. Took me less than 5 minutes.

Hmm.. the work order also listed 22-01-016H which seems to match the format of other bulletins I found online, although this doesn't currently match anything publicly.
If I search my vehicle VIN on Hyundai - Recalls it shows up as a completed service campaign.

Ironically, the dealership called me today asking me to schedule a day/time to bring mine in to perform the correction. They called it a recall.

That's because a recall or a service campaign is essentially the same for a dealer: all cars in the affected range get the fix, paid for by Hyundai.


The difference (which you may already know) is that a recall is something that Hyundai has to make NHTSA aware of via official letter. They have to give NHTSA every affected VIN number, and provide updates on a regular basis as to which VINs get the fix. This is how we, owners, can use NHTSA's website to find open recalls.

A service campaign is something that does not involve NHTSA. They do notify owners, or have dealers do it (like the phone call you got).

A TSB is a level below that. Owners are not notified, but dealers use those to know what to do in case of a known issue, or to know if a vehicle is in the affected range on any TSB.

All of these eventually get published on NHTSA's website, even TSBs, but they're notoriously slow (except for recalls). They're 2 to 3 months behind on publishing TSBs, so don't be surprised if this one is not yet showing online. It will eventually.
