A vehicle door latch assembly including a latch (10) operatively co-acting with a striker as the door nears its closed position, a latching pawl (16) self-engaging with the latch (10) to hold it in latched condition retaining the door, and unlatching means selectively operable to disengage the latching pawl (16) for opening the door, unlatching means comprising a pawl lifter (20) moveable from a position of rest to carry the latching pawl (16) out of engagement with the latch (10) and a power driven output member (28) selectively moveable to engage and displace the pawl lifter (20) from the position of rest. The output member (28) is a plunger (28) advanced and retracted by a drive motor (22) and is also displaceable laterally to an inactive angular position at which it does not engage with the pawl lifter, whereby, if power should fail, manual operation of the pawl lifter for unlatching will not be obstructed by the plunger.
