Recall 2016263

The issue

On certain vehicles, the secondary hood latch can potentially disengage due to a tolerance build-up between the latch and catch mechanisms. If the vehicle were to be driven with the primary hood latch disengaged, there is a potential that the secondary hood latch may not hold the hood closed as designed while the vehicle is in motion. If this were to occur, it could 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 replace the secondary hood latch catch with a revised component. Note: There would be a visual warning in the instrument cluster to indicate that the primary latch would be disengaged, and for “Limited” and “Ultimate” trim models, there would be an additional audible warning.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le verrou de capot secondaire pourrait se dégager en raison d’une accumulation de tolérance entre les mécanismes du loquet et du verrou. Si des véhicules devaient circuler alors que le verrou principal n’est pas engagé, le verrou secondaire pourrait ne pas maintenir le capot fermé comme prévu. Cela pourrait entraîner l’ouverture de ce dernier, empêcher le conducteur de voir la route et d’autres automobilistes, endommager le pare-brise et provoquer une collision causant des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Correction : les détaillants doivent remplacer le verrou secondaire par un composant amélioré. Remarque : un voyant devrait être déclenché dans le tableau de bord pour indiquer tout dégagement du verrou principal, ainsi qu’un avertissement sonore, dans le cas des modèles « Limited » et « Ultimate ».
