Recall 1991133

The issue

THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH SPRING IN THESE VEHICLES MAY BE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED OR MISSING. THIS COULD LEAD TO A CONDITION IN WHICH THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH DOES NOT ENGAGE THE STRIKER. IF THE PRIMARY HOOD LATCH WERE ALSO NOT ENGAGED, HOOD FLY-UP COULD OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND A NEW SECONDARY HOOD LATCH SPRING WILL BE INSTALLED WHERE NECESSARY.

Description (français)

Il se peut que le ressort de fermeture secondaire du capot de ces véhicules soit mal installé ou manquant et que, pour cette raison, le pêne ne s'engage plus. Si la fermeture principale n'est pas engagée non plus, le capot peut s'ouvrir pendant que le véhicule est en mouvement.
