Recall 1995224

The issue

THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 113 - HOOD LATCH SYSTEM. VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH AN IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED SECONDARY HOOD LATCH. AS A RESULT, THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY NOT ENGAGE THE RADIATOR SUPPORT AS INTENDED. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE HOOD TO OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE HOOD MAY CONTACT THE WINDSHIELD, REDUCING THE FORWARD VISION AREA OF THE DRIVER, AND A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: SECONDARY HOOD LATCH WILL BE ADJUSTED.

Description (français)

Certains de ces véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 113 - Système d'attache du capot. Certains des véhicules visés ont été dotés d'un crochet secondaire de capot mal réglé. En conséquence, il se peut que le crochet secondaire ne s'accroche pas au support du radiateur comme prévu. Un tel état de chose peut entraîner l'ouverture subite du capot. Si cela se produit quand le véhicule est en mouvement, le capot peut venir frapper le pare-brise et réduire subitement le champ de vision du conducteur vers l'avant, ce qui constitue un risque d'accident. Correction: Le réglage du crochet secondaire du capot devra être refait.
