What NHTSA recorded

Secondary hood latch assembly on these vehicles may not be properly adjusted and could become bent. This will lead to a condition where full primary latch engagement is not attained.

Possible consequence

A bent secondary hood latch could lead to the primarylatch not being fully engaged, allowing the hood to unexpectedly open. If thiswere to occur while the vehicle was in motion, the hood may contact thewindshield, reducing the forward vision area of the driver and a vehicle crashcould occur without prior warning.

Remedy

Replace the primary hood latch assembly, the secondary hood latch assembly, and the support bracket.
