Latches/locks/linkages:hood:latchSep 8, 2003 · NHTSA campaign 03V332000 · 20,978 vehicles

Problem: On certain passenger vehicles, an internal hood latch component may have been manufactured with a crack, which could propagate and break, allowing the primary/secondary latch spring to disengage.

Risk: This could result in loss of both primary and secondary hood latch function, allowing the hood to open without warning. This could increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the latch assembly. Owner notification began on september 22, 2003. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-992-1997.
