NHTSA recall 91V186000
Latches/Locks/Linkages · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Secondary hood latch assemblies can corrode, causing a high latch release effort and possibly preventing the hood from latching properly when it is closed.
Why it matters: If the secondary hood latch is not properly engaged, andthe primary hood latch was also not engaged, the hood could open and contact thewindshield while the vehicle was in motion, reducing the forward vision area ofthe driver and resulting in a possible vehicle accident without prior warning.
The fix: Install a new secondary hood latch assembly.
