General Motors is recalling approximately 120,688 Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV vehicles from the 2013-2015 model years. The secondary hood latch in these vehicles can corrode at the pivot point, which may prevent the latch from engaging properly to hold the hood down. This recall expands upon a previous 2014 recall for the same issue, and even vehicles that were fixed during the first recall must be brought in for this new repair. Dealers will replace both the hood striker assembly and the hood latch assembly with improved parts at no cost to owners.
If the secondary hood latch fails due to corrosion, the vehicle's hood could unexpectedly fly open while driving. This can block the driver's view of the road and significantly increase the risk of a crash.
