Recall 1991162

The issue

THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY NOT FULLY ENGAGE WHEN THE HOOD IS CLOSED. IN THE EVENT THE PRIMARY LATCH RELEASES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, A PARTIALLY ENGAGED SECONDARY LATCH MIGHT NOT RESTRAIN THE HOOD AND HOOD FLY-UP COULD OCCUR. THIS COULD RESULT IN OBSTRUCTED DRIVER VISIBILITY AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: HOOD LATCH WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE OF A REVISED DESIGN.

Description (français)

Il se peut que le crochet secondaire du capot ne s'engage pas complètement lorsque l'on ferme le capot. Si le crochet primaire venait à céder pendant que le véhicule est en mouvement et que le crochet secondaire n'est pas bien engagé, celui-ci pourrait ne pas retenir le capot qui s'ouvrirait subitement. La visibilité du conducteur serait alors obstruée et un accident pourrait s'ensuivre.
