What's wrong: These vehicles could have been produced with an improperly adjusted secondary hood latch. This does not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 113, "hood latch system."

Why it matters: Consequence of non-compliance: if the secondary latch is not properly engaged and the primary hood latch was also not engaged, the hood latch was also not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly. If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, the hood can contact the windshield reducing…

The fix: Dealers will adjust the secondary hood latch.
