Recall 2001055

The issue

On certain pickup trucks located in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces, corrosion of the hood secondary latch return spring may cause the hood secondary latch to become inoperative, possibly allowing the hood to open unexpectedly if the primary hood latch mechanism is not engaged. Such an occurrence could block driver vision and result in possible loss of control and a crash. Correction: A new secondary hood latch that incorporates a stainless steel spring will be installed on affected vehicles.

Description (français)

Sur certaines camionnettes en Ontario, au Québec et dans les provinces Maritimes, la corrosion du ressort de rappel du verrou secondaire du capot peut rendre ce dernier inopérant et le capot peut s'ouvrir inopinément si le mécanisme de verrouillage principal n'est pas bien engagé. Le conducteur pourrait alors avoir la vue obstruée, ce qui risque de provoquer une perte de contrôle et causer un accident. Correction : Un nouveau verrou secondaire avec ressort de rappel en acier inoxydable devra être posé sur les véhicules visés.
