Recall 91V186000: Hood Latch Defect

SECONDARY HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLIES CAN CORRODE, CAUSING A HIGH LATCH RELEASE EFFORT AND POSSIBLY PREVENTING THE HOOD FROM LATCHING PROPERLY WHEN IT IS CLOSED. IF THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH IS NOT PROPERLY ENGAGED, AND THE PRIMARY HOOD LATCH WAS ALSO NOT ENGAGED, THE HOOD COULD OPEN AND CONTACT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, REDUCING THE FORWARD VISION AREA OF THE DRIVER AND RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. INSTALL A NEW SECONDARY HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY.

SYSTEM: SECONDARY HOOD LATCH.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.
