Structure: body: hood

Summary

15116a - customer satisfaction program (revised part section and service procedure). Vehicles may have been built with a hood striker that may fracture over time from corrosion. During an extended durability test, the hood striker failed to retain the hood in a closed position. If the hood is not retained in a closed and locked position, the hood may open while the vehicle is being operated, which may block the driver’s vision, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers are to replace the original hood striker with a revised assembly.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 20 complaints in the body category.
