The defect
THE HOOD SECONDARY LATCH ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY BE SUBJECT TO BINDING DUE TO VARIATIONS IN THE LATCH AND ITS MOUNTING BASE ASSEMBLY. A PROBLEM COULD OCCUR IF THE PRIMARY LATCH BECAME INOPERATIVE OR WAS NOT PROPERLY ENGAGED.
The remedy
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH SYSTEM AND, IF NECESSARY, ADJUST IT AT NO COST TO OWNER.
