## What is wrong

HOOD HINGE LINK ASSEMBLIES MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISENGAGEMENT OF THE HOOD ASSIST SPRING.  IF THE SPRING WERE TO DISENGAGE, THE REMAINING HOOD HGINGE ASSEMBLY WOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN THE HOOD IN AN OPEN POSITION AND IT WOULD FALL UNDER ITS OWN WEIGHT, THEREBY EXPOSING INDIVIDUALS IN THE VICINITY OF THE OPEN HOOD TO POSSIBLE INJURIES.
