Mercedes-Benz bolts that hold the hood's secondary latch striker may have been insufficiently tightened.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the hood latch. Here is what owners need to know.
The bolts that hold the hood's secondary latch striker may have been insufficiently tightened.
The reduced torque of the striker bolts might lead to a loosening of the bolts. If two of the four bolts securing the striker became loose, the secondary hood latch function would become ineffective.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners, and dealers will check and retighten the bolts as necessary, free of charge.
