An outside door handle is the exterior lever you pull to work the door latch and open the door from outside the vehicle. A handle that is cracked, broken or loose, or that no longer releases the door when you pull it, may need replacing. A worn latch or linkage can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the mechanism before replacing the handle. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details.
