Chevrolet secondary hood latch may prematurely corrode at the latch pivot causing the striker to get stuck out of position, preventing it from properly engaging the hood latch.
The short version
General Motors LLC reported a problem with the hood latch. Here is what owners need to know.
The secondary hood latch may prematurely corrode at the latch pivot causing the striker to get stuck out of position, preventing it from properly engaging the hood latch.
If the secondary hood latch corrodes causing the latch to be stuck out of position, and the primary hood latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the striker with a new part which has superior corrosion protection, free of charge.
