Freightliner screw connection on the upper hood catch may have been improperly tightened.
The short version
Daimler Vans USA, LLC reported a problem with the hood latch. Here is what owners need to know.
The screw connection on the upper hood catch may have been improperly tightened. As a result, factors such as the vehicle's speed, wind resistance and road conditions may cause the hood to open while the vehicle is being driven.
A hood that opens while driving can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the screw connection, tightening it as necessary, free of charge.
