What is wrong
Insufficient clearance could cause the safety catch on the secondary hood latch striker to bind.
The risk
If primary latch is released or if hood is not completely closed, hood could fly open while vehicle is in motion; this would block driver's vision and could result in an accident.
The fix
Replace hood latch striker assembly.
