The issue

On certain vehicles, the secondary hood latch may corrode at the latch pivot and stick in the open position. If this occurs and the primary hood latch is either not engaged or is released, a hood fly-up may occur. If this occurs, the driver's forward vision could be obstructed, which could result in a collision. Correction: Dealers will install a secondary hood latch with components that are coated prior to assembly for improved latch pivot corrosion protection.
