## What is wrong

THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCHES ON THESE VEHICLES CAN CORRODE CAUSING   A VERY HIGH LATCH RELEASE EFFORT AND POSSIBLY PREVENTING THE HOOD   FROM LATCHING PROPERLY WHEN IT IS CLOSED. IF THE SECONDARY HOOD   LATCH IS NOT PROPERLY ENGAGED THE HOOD COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY.   IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE   DRIVER'S FORWARD VISION WOULD BE IMPAIRED POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A   VEHICLE CRASH.

CORRECTION: A NEW SCONDARY HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY WITH IMPROVED   CORROSION RESISTANCE WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
