Defect
For hood assemblies equipped with the pop-up hood system, incorrect assembly work instructions for the left and right hood hinges and hood caused some vehicles to be built with incorrect-specification hood hinges or hoods. In a collision, the rear edge of the hood may not rise sufficiently. In the worst case, the vehicle may fail to meet pedestrian head and leg protection standards.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the left and right hood hinges and hood; if incorrect-specification parts are found, replace them with genuine correct-specification parts.
