An override mechanism for a cinching latch assembly comprising: a claw rotatable between an opened position and a closed position, the claw being spring biased toward the opened position to allow opening of a latch; a cinch drive link rotatable between an override position and a non-override position, the cinch drive link being in operative contact with the claw in the non-override position and disengaged from the claw in the override position, wherein operative contact between the claw and the cinch drive link biases the cinch drive link toward the override position; a bearing extending from the cinch drive link; a cinch override lever defining an aperture defined by an inner wall of the cinch override lever , the bearing of the cinch drive link disposed within the aperture and moveable within the aperture; a cinch override pawl rotatable between an engaged condition with the cinch override lever and a disengaged condition with the cinch override lever, the engaged condition locking the cinch override lever to oppose movement of the cinch drive link to the override position, wherein the cinch override lever includes a tab engageable with a retention arm of the cinch override pawl in the non-override position of the cinch drive link to restrict movement of the cinch override lever, the tab disengaged with the retention arm in the override position of the cinch override link; and a cinch cable lever pivotably coupled to the cinch drive link , wherein rotation of the cinch cable lever is actuated by a cable and wherein an axis of rotation of the cinch cable lever and the cinch drive link are offset from each other. a claw rotatable between an opened position and a closed position, the claw being spring biased toward the opened position to allow opening of a latch; a cinch drive link rotatable between an override position and a non-override position, the cinch drive link being in operative contact with the claw in the non-override position and disengaged from the claw in the override position, wherein operative contact between the claw and the cinch drive link biases the cinch drive link toward the override position; a bearing extending from the cinch drive link; a cinch override lever defining an aperture defined by an inner wall of the cinch override lever , the bearing of the cinch drive link disposed within the aperture and moveable within the aperture; a cinch override pawl rotatable between an engaged condition with the cinch override lever and a disengaged condition with the cinch override lever, the engaged condition locking the cinch override lever to oppose movement of the cinch drive link to the override position, wherein the cinch override lever includes a tab engageable with a retention arm of the cinch override pawl in the non-override position of the cinch drive link to restrict movement of the cinch override lever, the tab disengaged with the retention arm in the override position of the cinch override link; and a cinch cable lever pivotably coupled to the cinch drive link , wherein rotation of the cinch cable lever is actuated by a cable and wherein an axis of rotation of the cinch cable lever and the cinch drive link are offset from each other. <EOS>
