Recall 1993161

The issue

CRACKS ON THE INNER HOOD PANEL MAY LEAD TO A CONDITION IN WHICH THE HOOD STRIKER ASSEMBLY DOES NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE THE HOOD LATCH WHEN CLOSED. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN HOOD "FLY-UP" WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSTALL TWO (2) BOLTS AND NUTS TO BETTER SECURE THE STRIKER TO THE HOOD INNER PANEL. DEALERS WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT THE THREE (3) EXISTING HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY RETAINING BOLTS ARE PROPERLY TORQUED.

Description (français)

S'il y a des fissures sur la surface intérieure du capot, il peut se produire une déformation et le crochet du capot risque de ne pas se fermer correctement. Le capot peut alors s'ouvrir subitement pendant que le véhicule se déplace. Correction: Les concessionnaires devront installer deux (2) boulons et deux écrous pour mieux fixer le pêne au capot. Ils devront aussi s'assurer que les trois boulons qui retiennent le crochet du capot sont bien serrés.
