## What is wrong

On certain vehicles the front hood lock may have been improperly manufactured.  The front hood lock upper components, on which the catch bar are riveted to the mounting plate, were not produced according to specifications.  This could result in the hood opening unexpectedly while the vehicle is being driven. This could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage.  Correction: Dealers will replace the upper part of the lock on the front hood.
