Recall 1986097

The issue

THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY BE INCORRECTLY ALIGNED AND/OR MAY EXHIBIT A BINDING CONDITION AT THE LATCH PIVOT. EITHER OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD PREVENT ADEQUATE ENGAGEMENT OF THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH. IN ADDITION, THE PRIMARY HOOD LATCH "POP-UP" LEVER MAY BE MISPOSITIONED AND COULD CAUSE THE HOOD TO APPEAR CLOSED WITHOUT BEING LATCHED. INADEQUATE ENGAGEMENT OF THE SECONDARY LATCH AND A MISPOSITIONED PRIMARY LATCH LEVER COULD RESULT IN HOOD FLY-UP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. CORRECTION: REPLACE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH, INSPECT PRIMARY HOOD LATCH, AND ALIGN OR REPLACE "POP-UP" LEVER.

Description (français)

Le loquet secondaire du capot peut être mal aligné ou déformé près du pivot; dans les deux cas, la défectuosité peut altérer l'efficacité du loquet. En outre, la position de la tringle de déclenchement du loquet principal peut laisser croire que le loquet est engagé alors qu'il ne l'est pas. Si le loquet secondaire est mal engagé et loquet principal ne l'est pas, le capot risque de s'envoler alors que le véhicule est en mouvement.
