What NHTSA recorded

Insufficient clearance could cause the safety catch on the secondary hood latch striker to bind.

Possible consequence

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.

Remedy

Replace hood latch striker assembly.
