## What is wrong

General Motors, LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2013\-2015 Chevrolet Spark and 2014\-2015 Chevrolet Spark EV vehicles.  The secondary hood latch may corrode at the latch pivot, preventing the hood latch from properly engaging.


## What can happen

A hood latch failure can result in the vehicle's hood opening unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the hood striker assembly and hood latch assembly, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed June 12, 2023.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020.  GM's number for this recall is A222359300.  This recall supersedes and expands NHTSA recall number 14V\-593.  Vehicles previously repaired under 14V\-593 will need to have the new remedy performed.
