Details
What's wrong: The secondary hood latch spring can disengage from its retention hole if the hood is slammed shut.
Why it matters: If this condition occurs simultaneously without engaging the primary latch, the hood would not be restrained increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the secondary hood latch spring with a longer end hook spring.
