This may be due to an internal failure of the hood latch while the hood remains properly latched. To correct the condition, replace the hood latch (service base part number 16700). For claiming, use the causal part number 16700 and applicable labor operations in Section 12 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10239481-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10239481-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10239481","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null},{"id":"latches-locks","name":"Latches and locks","parent":null},{"id":"hood-latch","name":"Hood latch","parent":"latches-locks"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"BRONCO","year_from":2022,"year_to":2023,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2022_ford_bronco","2023_ford_bronco"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
