Details

What's wrong: The secondary hood latch may not engage when the hood is closed.

Why it matters: In the event the primary hood latch releases when thevehicle is in motion, the hood could fly up, obstructing the operator's vision,and increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

The fix: Install a new hood latching assembly.
