Details

What's wrong: The hood-latch striker wires may not have been heat-treated properly, possibly causing them to fracture.

Why it matters: If a striker wire fractures, the hood may open unexpectedly while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hood assembly, free of charge. The recall began April 13, 2020.
