What is wrong
The secondary hood latch may not engage when the hood is closed.
The risk
In the event the primary hood latch releases or is not properly latched when the vehicle is in motion, the hood could fly up obstructing the operator's vision, and increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will replace the hood latch assembly.
