## What is wrong

THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE ON THESE VEHICLES. IF THE PRIMARY HOOD LATCH WERE TO DISENGAGE, THE HOOD COULD UNEXPECTEDLY OPEN. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE HOOD COULD FLY UP AND OBSTRUCT THE FORWARD VISION OF THE DRIVER POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

CORRECTION: SECONDARY HOOD LATCH WILL BE REPLACED ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES.
