Recall 2014401

The issue

On certain vehicles, if the vehicle is driven with only the secondary latch engaged, the secondary hood latch may fail to hold the hood closed. As a result, the hood could open suddenly and compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield. These issues could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect, clean, lubricate, and modify the bend angle on the secondary hood latch. If significant corrosion is identified during inspection, the latch assembly will be replaced.

Description (français)

Le verrou de capot secondaire de certains véhicules pourrait ne pas maintenir le capot fermé si le véhicule est utilisé alors que seulement le verrou secondaire est enclenché. Le capot pourrait s'ouvrir soudainement ce qui pourrait empêcher le conducteur de voir la route et les autres automobilistes, endommager le pare­brise et provoquer un accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter, nettoyer, lubrifier et modifier l'angle de pliage du verrou de capot secondaire. Si le verrou est très corrodé, il devra être remplacé.
