Abstract
A closure latch assembly for a vehicle door comprising a lock link operatively connected to a ratchet is provided. The latch assembly is configured to quickly move the lock link to an unlocking position and thus the ratchet to an open position when a user activates a motor of the latch assembly, for example using a key fob. Thus, an impatient passenger can quickly open the door, even while other components of the latch assembly are still moving toward their respective unlocking positions.
