Recall 1995153

The issue

DEFECT: UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE SECONDARY LATCH MAY WEDGE AGAINST THE STRIKER, RESTRICTING THE DOWNWARD MOTION OF THE HOOD, WHICH MAY SUBSEQUENTLY RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR INCOMPLETE PRIMARY LATCH ENGAGEMENT. THIS CONDITION MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED OPENING OF THE HOOD WHICH COULD OBSTRUCT THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD AND POTENTIALLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED.

Description (français)

DÉFAUT: Dans certaines circonstances, le crochet secondaire du capot peut se coincer contre le pêne, entravant le mouvement vers le bas du capot et empêchant le crochet primaire de s'engager à fond. Le capot pourrait alors s'ouvrir sans avertissement et obstruer la vue du conducteur, ce qui représente un risque d'accident. Correction : L'ensemble de verrouillage du capot devra être remplacé.
