Correction:  A new secondary hood latch that incorporates a stainless steel spring will be installed on affected vehicles.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"973","part_number":null,"units":73167,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Structure","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certaines camionnettes en Ontario, au Québec et dans les provinces Maritimes, la corrosion du ressort de rappel du verrou secondaire du capot peut rendre ce dernier inopérant et le capot peut s'ouvrir inopinément si le mécanisme de verrouillage principal n'est pas bien engagé.
