Recall 1998011

The issue

THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 219 - WINDSHIELD ZONE INTRUSION. THE HOOD HINGE PIVOT BOLTS MAY BREAK CAUSING EITHER CORNER OF THE HOOD NEAR THE WINDSHIELD TO RAISE, OR ONE SIDE OF THE HOOD TO BE UNSTABLE WHEN OPENED. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, A HOOD EXHIBITING THIS CONDITION COULD BE PUSHED BACK THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD GLASS, INCREASING THE RISK OF OCCUPANT INJURY. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPLACE BOTH HOOD HINGE PIVOT BOLTS ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES.

Description (français)

Ces véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 219 – Pénétration de la zone du pare-brise. Les axes d’articulation des charnières du capot peuvent se briser et permettre à l’un ou l’autre coin du capot près du pare-brise de se soulever, ou rendre l’un ou l’autre côté du capot instable quand on le soulève. En cas d’accident, un capot dont les charnières sont défectueuses peut être repoussé à travers le pare-brise, ce qui augmente les risques de blessure aux occupants.Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l’axe d’articulation des deux charnières sur tous les véhicules visés.
