Home › Cars & vehicles › Hyundai Motor America — Secondary Hood Latch…
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the hood is not securely closed or the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
