Details
What's wrong: A wire formed hood striker could be susceptible to fatigue fractures. If the hood striker fractures, the hood could fly open while the vehicle is being driven.
Why it matters: A hood fly-up while the vehicle is being operated could result in reduced driver visibility.
The fix: Dealers will replace the hood striker.
