The problem
THE PRIMARY HOOD LATCH CAN RELEASE WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN THE CONDITION OF HIGH WIND GUSTS. THE PRIMARY HOOD LATCH FAILURE WILL ALSO CAUSE THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH TO FAIL SIMULTANEOUSLY.
What owners should do
REPLACE DEFECTIVE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY LATCH MECHANISMS WITH A LARGER SPRING ON THE PRIMARY LATCH, AND A REDESIGNED CATCH ON THE SECONDARY LATCH.
