## What is wrong

SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE DUE TO       CONTACT WITH SUPPORT BRACKET AND/OR THE PRIMARY LATCH RETURN SPRING.                                                                                              CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF THIS OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, HOOD COULD     OPEN AND CONTACT THE WINDSHIELD, AFFECTING THE DRIVERS VISION AREA; THIS COULD   RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.


## The remedy

INSTALL SECONDARY LATCH SKID PLATE ON CORSICA AND BERETTA     MODELS.  ALSO, INSTALL A REVISED SECONDARY LATCH ASSEMBLY ON BERETTA MODELS.


## Notes

SYSTEM: SECONDARY HOOD LATCH. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.
