The problem
Secondary hood latch assembly on these vehicles may not be properly adjusted and could become bent. This will lead to a condition where full primary latch engagement is not attained.
The risk
A bent secondary hood latch could lead to the primarylatch not being fully engaged, allowing the hood to unexpectedly open. If thiswere to occur while the vehicle was in motion, the hood may contact thewindshield, reducing the forward vision area of the driver and a vehicle crashcould occur without prior warning.
The fix
Replace the primary hood latch assembly, the secondary hood latch assembly, and the support bracket.
