Recall 1995078

The issue

THE HOOD LATCH STRIKER PLATE MAY BECOME DETACHED FROM THE HOOD ASSEMBLY RESULTING IN AN INADVERTENT OPENING OF THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD REDUCE THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD AND POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: A NEW HOOD INNER PANEL REINFORCEMENT AND A NEW, GALVANIZED, HOOD LATCH STRIKER PLATE WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.

Description (français)

Il se peut que la plaque de montage de la gâche du mécanisme de verrouillage du capot se détache et que le capot s'ouvre subitement alors que le véhicule est en mouvement, ce qui pourrait réduire le champ de vision du conducteur et entraîner un accident. Correction: Un nouveau renfort et une nouvelle plaque de montage galvanisés, pour la doublure du capot et pour la gâche, devront être installés sur les véhicules visés.
