Recall 97V095000: Secondary Hood Latch Spring Revised

The secondary hood latch spring can disengage from its retention hole if the hood is slammed shut.

If this condition occurs simultaneously without engaging the primary latch, the hood would not be restrained increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Dealers will replace the secondary hood latch spring with a longer end hook spring.
