What's wrong: Subaru of america, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Tribeca vehicles manufactured November 16, 2004, to January 27, 2014. Due to a possible malfunction of the hood safety system and hood lock system, the hood may open unexpectedly while driving.

If after this is performed the hood latch does not operate properly, it will be replaced with a new current style part.…
