## What is wrong

Hyundai Motor Company \(Hyundai\) is recalling certain model year 2016 Tucson vehicles manufactured May 19, 2015 to March 14, 2016.  In the affected vehicles, if the primary hood latch has been released, and the vehicle is driven, the secondary hood latch may not hold adequately secure the hood to prevent it from opening while the vehicle is in motion.


## What can happen

If the primary hood latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch cannot secure the hood, the hood may unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the secondary hood latch, free of charge.  The recall began on June 30, 2016.  Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1\-855\-371\-9460.  Hyundai's number for this recall is 145.
