DAIMLERCHRYSLER issued a recall on the 300M and CONCORDE models

On certain vehicles, an internal hood latch component may have been manufactured with a crack, which could eventually propagate and break, allowing the primary/secondary latch spring to become disengaged. This could result in loss of both primary and secondary hood latch function. Loss of hood latch function can result in the hood opening without prior warning. Correction: Dealer will replace the hood latch.
