A vehicle latch, including: a first locking mechanism configured to disengage an outside release lever of the vehicle latch from a pawl of the vehicle latch; and a double lock mechanism configured to disengage an inside release lever from the pawl of the vehicle latch such that when the double lock mechanism is actuated into a locked state, movement of the inside release lever will not release the vehicle latch.

A door latch assembly includes an actuator housing, a first post, a first sector gear, a first inner release lever, a first spring, a child link, and a first motor assembly. The actuator housing has a housing floor and a side wall extending therefrom. The first sector gear has a first head defining a first set of teeth and a first arm extending from the first head. The first spring has a first spring first arm and a first spring second arm. The child link is pivotally mounted for rotation about a second post of the first inner release lever. The first motor assembly is arranged to pivot the first sector gear about the first post, such that the child link pivots about the second post between a first child link position and a second child link position.

A door latch apparatus that is mounted on a vehicle door and that achieves at low cost a structure that is for ensuring operational reliability of an open lever. The door latch apparatus includes a cap formed by resin material and including a cylindrical shape, the cap being arranged in an inserted manner at an attachment shaft extended in a form of a shaft in a predetermined direction, an elastic spring member that elastically biases a pawl from a non restriction position towards a restriction position, and a coming-off prevention mechanism that, by making part of the elastic spring member to engage with the cap, prevents the cap from coming off from the attachment shaft.

An electronic closure latch assembly for a vehicle, the electronic closure latch assembly comprising: an enclosure cover; a component portion of the enclosure cover sized to retain an electrical component therein, the component portion having an interior having a plurality of compression elements distributed on an interior surface of the interior; an electronic controller disposed within the enclosure cover, the electronic controller including the electrical component; wherein the plurality of compression elements are deformed against an exterior surface of the electrical component when the electrical component is inserted into the component portion of the enclosure cover.

A vehicle door presenting system includes an actuator striker positioned at one of a vehicle body surface or a vehicle door, and an actuator positioned at the other of the vehicle body surface or the vehicle door and engagable with the actuator striker. The actuator is configured to move the vehicle door between a fully closed position and a partially open position via interaction between the actuator and the actuator striker. The actuator includes a retaining portion to maintain engagement with the actuator striker. The retaining portion retains the vehicle door in the partially open position to prevent the vehicle door from moving toward a fully open position.
