What NHTSA recorded

The secondary hood latch mechanism has a narrow clearance between internal parts which, over time, accumulate dust or other foreign matter and cause the latch to not engage properly.

Possible consequence

If this occurs and the primary latch is not properly engaged, the hood could open suddenly without warning, blocking the vision of the driver, which could cause an accident.

Remedy

Lexus dealers will replace the secondary hood latch.
