The hazard

THE HOOD HINGE PIVOT BOLTS MAY BREAK CAUSING EITHER CORNER OF THE HOOD NEAR THE WINDSHIELD TO RAISE, OR ONE SIDE OF THE HOOD TO BE UNSTABLE WHEN OPENED. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, A HOOD EXHIBITING THIS CONDITION COULD BE PUSHED BACK THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD GLASS, INCREASING THE RISK OF OCCUPANT INJURY. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPLACE BOTH HOOD HINGE PIVOT BOLTS ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES.
