Details

On certain 1992-1995 four-door sedans and three-door hatchbacks, and 1993-1995 two-door coupes, located in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces, the engine hood secondary latch may corrode and not operate if the latch is not clean and sufficiently coated with lubricant.

This may cause the secondary latch to stick in the open position as a result of the corrosion.

If the primary latch is not properly locked and the secondary latch is stuck open, the engine hood could fly open restricting the driver's vision and possibly result in a crash.

Correction: Dealers will lubricate the hood latch.

Also, a maintenence instruction label will be installed next to the latch.
